CHAPTER I. 

Brief chapter in the long and ghastly tale, 
The epic muse will pen in lines of blood, 

or squandered lives from Tennessee vale 
To Mississippi's grand and glossy flood. 

In attempting to describe the sublime grandeur of this 
mountain, whose majestic old brow is crowned with laurels 
that no human hand can wither by its ruthless touch, we feel 
bow truly insignificant we are. As Solomon, in his dedica- 
tion of the Temple, exclaimed in solemn reverence, " Shall I 
ask God to come and dwell in a place so small as this, when 
all the earth cannot contain him i"' so may we say, shall we 
attempt to describe this gigantic piece of His workmanship, 
and do it justice ? No ! no more than could the artist, whose 
name is upon the immortal roll of fame, tint his brush in the 
glowing hues of tlie sunset dyes in the horizon above this 
huge structure of nature, adorned with all that beauty which 
pleases the eye and enraptures the soul. And now, kind 
reader, let your fancy follow us to the translucent waters of 
the Tennessee river, in the beautiful State of that name, and 
refresh your heart upon its loveliness. In one broad, silvery 
expanse, it reflects, by day, the golden sun like a chariot of 
fire, and by niglit, it mirrors the dimple gems that stud her 
sable banners. Onward rolls the majestic waters, presenting 
views at once variegated, awful, grand and sublime ! 

At the foot of Great Lookout Mountain commences a 
series of rapids, where, in its tortuous windings along the 
base of several mountain ranges, the Tennessee river, con- 
tracted into a narrow channel, hemmed in by projecting cliffs 
and towering precipices of solid stone, dashes with tumultu- 
ous violence from shore to shore, creating in its rapid des- 
cent over immense boulders and masses of rock, a succession 
of cataracts and vortices beautiful and interestinjT in the 



4 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

extreme to the wrapt beholder. Once, these rapids con- 
stituted a formidable obstacle to navigation. Civilization, 
skill and long experience have greatly diminished these ob- 
stacles to commerce; yet it is not entirely overcome by the 
agency of steam. It requires great skill and a stout heart 
for the navigator to venture through the whirlpool, better 
known as the Suck. Cherokee tradition is prolific of acci- 
dents and disasters to the aborigines. It is told of a large 
fleet of Indian canoes, filled with warriors of the Uchee tribe, 
bent upon an invasion of the Shawnees, at the mouth of the 
Ohio river, were engulphed in this whirlpool. If the river 
presented such dangerous physical impediments, its environs 
held those of another character not less formidable. Alonff 
these foaming rapids, those snowy waves were often dyed 
with the blood of the bold pioneer. On either side of the river, 
the shores are wild, elevated, and bold in some places, scarcely 
leaving room for a path separating the stream from the adja- 
cent mountain, with here and there a cove running back 
from the river into the heights which surround and frown 
down upon the sombre solitude, with gloomy silence. In 
these mountain gorges are fastnesses, dark, forbidding and 
inaccessible. Their very aspect invited crime, of the most 
horrid nature, to the wicked Cherokees, whoso hands were 
reeking in the blood of all those who came under them. No 
human eye could witness, no vigilance stay, no power punish, 
no force avenge them. They were all-powerful, and retreated 
into these dreary seclusions, stimulated to aggression, as they 
furnished a perfect immunity from pursuit and punishment, 
while as 

Now, behind lies the stream, 

Woods bar their way ; 
Just between is a mead, 

Clad in rank grass and weed, 
Where fiends, by the path hid, 

Wait for their prey. 

Thunders ! a fearful crash, 

Close, close at hand, 
Flash many a savage hard by. 

And with a horrid cry. 
Thirty forms, rising uigh. 

Rush on the band. 

One by one there they fell. 

Fell as they stood, 
Environed by their foes, 

Slaughtered in the deadly close. 
While wild yells around them rose ; 

Fell in their blood. 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 5 

One by one, fell they, all 

On the red sod, 
In the night's ebon hall, 

By the gray woodland wall, 
Darkness their only pall, 

Seen but by God. 

By the broad Tennessee shore, 

Lie their green graves ; 
'Neath the low willows stream, 

While a sad requiem 
Sings the old stream for them, 

Murmur its waves. 

There yet the whippowill 

Chants to the vale, 
And in the evening chill, 

When all is cool and still. 
To the river and the hill. 

Tells the sad tale. 

Still beneath the cottage roofs, 

Is the tale told. 
As by fire-light, they 

Speak of border frays. 
Worthy of minstrel's lay, 

And empire bold. 

While the surrounding pines 

Wave high each head, 
And through the rifted boughs 

Sadly the night-wind flows, 
Breathing a dirge for those 

Now with the dead. 

Speaking of the wickedness of the Cherokees, Adair saja : 
" I have known them to go a thousand miles for the purpose of 
revenge, in pathless woods, over hills and mountains, through 
large cane-swamps, full of grape-vines and briars, over broad 
lakes, rapid rivers, and deep creeks ; all the way endangered 
by poisonous snakes, if not with a lurking enemy, while, at 
the same time, they were exposed to the extremes of heat 
and of cold, to hunger and thirst, to fatigue and other diffi- 
culties. Such was their ever-broiling, revengeful temper, and 
were only happy to get a scalp of the murdered enemy to 
satisfy the imaginary cravings of some ghastly relative. At 
this time the mountain was called Grandfather s 3Iountain.

^ CHAPTER II. 

THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF LOOKOUT AND CHEROKEE. 

At the time our narrative opens, this fertile valley was a 
dence "wilderness, where the Cherokees bathed in waters and 
lounged in the luxuriant shade ; where they formed their am- 
buscade and sung their war-song, upon the banks of the Ten- 
nessee. Now, the name of Cherokee is derived from Chee- 
ra-fire, which is reputed their lower heaven ; hence they call 
their Magi Cheera-tahge, men possessed of divine fire. The 
natives made two divisions of their country, which they 
term Ayrate and Ottare, which signifies low and high. The 
former is on the head-branches of the beautiful Savannah, 
whose banks are bordered with the majestic Magnolia, whose 
waxen petels fill the air with their voluptuous breath, while 
the long grey moss hangs in mournful folds from its aromatic 
boughs, as if to conceal the deeds of blood and violence per- 
petrated beneath their luxuriant shade. The latter are those 
of the Eastern rivers, mostly of the great Mississippi Valley. 

As we have said they were a wicked and blood-thirsty peo- 
ple. But, as in all races, some are and must be good — 
some one must have a tender spot in their heart, although 
that heart beats in a savage breast. Such a one was in the 
bosom of Eliza Ross. She was the niece of Old Van, and 
daughter of the chief, Terapin Ross, and niece of John Ross, 
whose name was ever honored by Avhite and black. He was a 
kind, humane man ; he did more to ameliorate the condition 
of the Cherokees than any one else. Where Chattanooga now 
stands, it was called Ross' Landing., in honor of that good 
Chief, who died in Washington City, in 1866. Old Van lived 
near Nicajack town. A very wicked, blood-thirsty old fel- 
low, who had become very rich by his plunder and murder ; 
he kept six negroes, armed to the teeth — whether he rode or 
walked, they were by his side. And whenever he saw a man 
ride a fine horse he was followed by the blacks, brought back 
to a cave, called Nic-a-jack, and their plundered, then left to 
die, if not quite dead, which was usually the case. Oh, that 
that cave had the eyes of man, to oft behold the horrid 
scenes enacted within its dark precincts, and the hand to pen 
them all ! Creation would wonder that the pure crystal 
stream, which flows from its mouth, would not be crimson, but 
the many years which this creek has run, has erased the stain 
from its fair bosom. While the remembrance of it is upon 



ILLUSTKATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 7 

the pages of history, in black and white, and upon the sacred 
record of heaven's pages, in characters of blood, surmounted 
by the dark and devilish deeds of that once great nation. But 
as we are only to write a guide, we shall not launch into the 
history of this people, farther than to interest the reader in 
the objects which surround him, and to beguile the enui of 
the hour, while on the Avay to this majestic mound, whose 
sublime eloquence will interest; you far more than could the 
most eloquent pen or speech, even if it were that of a Demos- 
thenes^ Ciciro or Homer. Therefore, we will hasten on to 
the origin of the name of 

LOOKOUT. 

Old Van used to watch the river for the boats coming 
down with the bold pioneer, who was seeking a new home in 
the Western wilds. Day and night he kept a lookout for 
those people, from the poiiit; he would say, "runup and 
lookout, see if any come." When the sentinel saw them he 
would stretch out his arm, and they would get into their 
canoes, at the foot, (visitors on the point, will discover an ex- 
act limb and foot of a female, we have no doubt but that is 
where Hercules planted his foot, when driven from heaven,) 
then stop the boats, rob and murder the people. A boat 
came down with thirty-one persons on board, they were 
all murdered but one, and he was a fiiir boy with golden 
locks and large blue eyes, with a face of great beauty. 
Eliza resolved to save this one life, at the risk of her own, 
(at which point I will tell you the tale, as it will interest you 
more there than here). Every boat was attacked, but not all 
of them overcome, but on every occasion some one had to give 
up the spirit of life in the struggle. Many years had flown by 
since the day the silvery bosom of the lovely Tennessee had 
flowed with the blood of the little band of thirii/, whose bodies 
sleep beneath its murmur. When a great signal was given, 
the Indians rushed to their canoes and took their station, 
as usual, but seeing the great number of boats, (for there were 
thirteen,) they feared to attack them, and so fled to the shore 
and secreted themselves in the luxuriant foliage on the toe.. 
But they waited, with impatience, for one lonely boat, about 
a mile in the roar of the others ; this was the boat of Mr. 
Young : they had a terrible plague broken out upon it, so 
they kept far apart from the others. If their hearts were sad 
by the visitation of Providence, oh, how much more so were 
they to be shortly, for no sooner had they turned the heel of 



8 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

the river, separating them from their friends, Old Ter- 
apin and his band rushed upon them and slew them, one by 
one, until sixty more dying victims M'ere added to those al- 
ready sleeping. Once again the peaceful waters of the Ten- 
nessee was to become the winding-sheet of those unfortunate 
bodies, who had left their happy homes to seek new ones in 
the dreary wilds of the far West. Old Terapin was elated 
with his success — the prize was rich, they danced, smoked 
and sung ; bright glared the ghostly flames of death against 
the high cliff; the valley resounded >Yith their hellish mirth ; 
the raven croaked with fear, while the dim roaring of the 
cataract was heard above them all — they enjoyed this fiend- 
ish feast of blood amid the roar of tempest. A small figure 
with a pale face came into their midst, with hair afloat upon 
the gale, and tears glistening in his heavenly eyes, a white 
blanket was wrapped around his fragile form, with his hand 
pointing toward the inky heavens, and the vivid lightning ad- 
ding terror to his livid brow, he exclaims : "Look out, for the 
vengeance of the great Spirit be upon you for this horrid act. 
God will surely punish you for this day's work. Look out, I 
say, for He has an all-seing eye, and has this night recorded 
this awful scene in His great book. Now, look out for retro- 
bution, which will be soon, and no hand can save, and no eye 
will pity." He disappeared. A profound silence reigned 
while this strange speech was made. And, indeed, no more 
merriment was that night ; they took their plunder and 
started for Sitico. On their way the lightning struck Old Ter- 
apin, Eliza's father, and killed him instantly; fear took pos- 
session of their cowardly hearts, but they held fast to the 
booty of the day. In three days hundreds of them were 
stretched upon the stolen beds and blankets, dying with the 
small pox, which had caused the owners to lose their lives. 
They died by thousands, and were thrown into a cave where 
they had left the bones of many victims to bleach in the dark, 
and to this day can be seen the bones of many of them. That 
disease did more toward the settlement of the valley than 
anything else ; for from that day no more look out was kept 
for boats; and from that day to this, the mountain has been 
called Lookout, and one valley also, while the others are 
named Chattanooga and Wills Valley. Old Van was in- 
duced to attend a shooting-match, which was very common 
with the whites as well as the Indians ; he entered a bar 
room, and was taking his fire-water, when he made the re- 
mark, "shut that door or somebody will shoot me." Ere

it was said, the deed was done, and he fell a corpse, shot 
through the heart. The man who had committed the deed 
was carried upon the shoulders of the Indians, who hated Old 
Van, and had long sought his life ; thus he met his just de- 
serts in this world and no doubt but in the next. 

Chattanooga is the great mart for all the country around, 
and is destined to be the queen of the surrounding country. 
At present, it is neither handsome, nor pleasant. The hotels 
are of the poorest order, and of the highest prices. They will 
tell you that you cannot get up the mountain but twice a week. 
Such is false. Mr. Richie has two teams every day, twice, 
up and down. By stepping out of the depot you will see it 
standing in front. We are happy to inform the travel- 
ling public that Mr. Stanton, a most enterprising and 
amiable gentleman, is building a large, fine hotel (see illus- 
tration,) near the new depot of the A. & C. R. R. This 
will be the finest hotel in the country and is out of dog hark 
range. He is hastening to finish it by the time that the 
Georgia State Fair comes off, and he will do it. Such men 
as he, and H. I. Kimball, do what they undertake, do it well 
and in time. Oh, for a few more of the same sort. We have 
a rich country, and want men to come into our midst, like 
them, to help open the treasure boxes locked up for the want 
of enterprise and capital. We Avant men like those who have 
not got the shilling stuck so fast to their nose that they cannot 
see the dollar beyond it, but deal with a liberal hand. Such 
men will be successful. They follow the Saviour's injunction 
by giving " labor to the poor, and making work in the vine- 
ard ;" "they feed the hungry and clothe the naked." Thus 
they are the " Good Samaritans, and receive their reward." 
We could not forbear making mention of the above gentle- 
men as worthy of a far higher compliment than we can pay 
them. To return to the guide, we will say : 

On the passengers arriving at Chattanooga, they will take 
a hack and proceed up the mountain. As you arrive at the 
half-way house, you will observe a small cabin and black- 
smith shop ; this is the early home of "Edna Earl, the hero- 
ine of St. Elmo." A little further on is a large rock on the 
right of you, with "Red Jacket" painted on it. Beneath this 
rock sleep two men who fell in battle, led by Gen. Sevier ; 
it is called, by the old citizens, Sturdivant's Rock. This is 
the spot where St. Elmo and his antagonist fought their duel, 
and where Old Van dashed out the brains of Mrs. Jen- 
nings' five children. Eliza Ross acts Pocahontas, and saves 



10 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

the life of Mrs. Bean, whose fate was to have been similar 
to that of the children. Mrs. Jennings being very beauti- 
ful, Old Van reserved her for himself, but by the entreaties of 
Eliza, the mountain flower, she was spared the awful fate. 
As you are drawn along the smooth road, up this stupend- 
ous height, you will see something of interest a* every point. 
On the left of the road is a stone with the impress of a large 
snake. We would have supposed it to have been a boa-con- 
constrictor. A little further on is Bragg's rock. This is 
historical. This is the spot where Old Van kept a look-out 
for horses and wagons ; when seen, those negroes of his would 
capture them, then bring them to the spot, murder the men, 
and cast their bodies into a ravine, between this rock and an 
adjoining one. This rock has a cave which has never been 
explored. This is also the spot where Bragg held conference 
with Hooker in regard to the surrender of the strong-hold. 
From this point the view is grand. It commands the site of 
seven States, and the fertile valleys dotted with handsome 
dwellings ; also of the toe of the river, while the Tvhole scene 
is enlivened by the stock grazing quietly in the sun, or sip- 
ping from the refreshing streaufs that water this paradise 
of fertility. At the seeming base of this rock is a large 
alum spring, so strong that you can soon gather a quan- 
tity of the crystal. This water is good for many diseases 
which human flesh is heir to. You will pass the toll gate. As 
you go^through you will observe the handsome highland cot- 
tage of Gen. Herron, with its beautiful surroundings. This spot 
was the home of Mr. George Foster, the oldest inhabitant 
upon the mountain, who can entertain you with the horrid 
tales of old. Mr. Foster was the man who got the charter 
for the mountain road, which is excellent. Guests wishing 
to visit the rock, from the hotel will go nearly front of the 
highland cottage, cross a fence, then on to a little bridge of 
wood, cross that, and you stand upon the spot 

Where fime her record keeps. 

From the Mountain House you will go toward the 
toll gate, cross the fence at the same place as before, 
or, if desired, go through the toll gate ; that will lead 
you to the spring; pass that a short distance until you dis- 
cover singular holes or cavities — you will observe a path ; 
take that, and when opposite the mouth of the cave, turn to 
the right and it will conduct you to the ravine spoken of; 
from there you can ascend to the top easily ; if desired, you 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT, MOUNTAIN. 11 

can return the same way ; follow a narrow path to the left as 
you come out of the ravirie and it will lead you along the crags 
of the cliffs, through a romantic gorge, to the top ; you can then 
return to your hotel easily. On this open space the Ridge 
tribe and those of the mountain, played a great game of ball, 
each party betting all their dogs, ponies, bows, clothes and 
every thing they had. Thousands of them were there, and 
the Ridge tribe lost. They took off all their clothing to pay 
the bets and returned, in a state of nudity, to their camp. 

You can see a small stone of singular impress upon the 
space as you near the rock. 

MOUNTAIN HOUSE — BY A. L. RICHIE. 

This house is open for the public. Mr. Richie is the prince 
of caterers. His dining room presents a most inviting ap- 
pearance, while the white light-rolls, smoking hot, covered 
with the golden mountain butter, tempt the most vacillating 
appetite to venture upon them. No sooner tasted than you 
launch out into the rich and well cooked viands before you, 
and on rising from the table, exclaim, if one does not eat, it 
is your own fault, not his. Mrs. Richie is a queen of house- 
keepers. She is a Nashville lady, and, like them, knows 
how to dispense hospitality, and make all feel at home. This 
house has fourteen cottages, one with seven rooms, and most 
of them have from five to six. A very tasteful garden ad- 
joins the main building. This house has fifteen bed-rooms, 
ball-room, office, parlor, dining room, billiard and bar-room, 
with all the usual appendages of a hotel. A fine band dis- 
courses its soft floods of music nightly, and those of the fan- 
tastic toe can trip to their hearts content, in the cool room, 
or they can promenade upon the long terrace, or sit in the 
moonshine and while away the hours. The rooms are cool 
and comfortable. Two good teams are attached to the house 
that will carry you to any point upon the mountain, or to 
Chattanooga. Also, a good ice-house well filled, and a spark- 
ling fountain of soda-water, with delicious syrups. 

You can sit and see for miles before you. Dalton is plainly 
seen. It is a little knob standing by itself directly in front of 
the hotel. Allatoona mountain, also, while many ranges rise 
like huge structures to please and enrapture the soul of those 
who admire the great works of their Maker. Cross to the 
bluff, turn to the right, go a short distance close to it, and 
you will observe a flight of steps. Five hundred of them 
will take you to 



12 ' ELIZA ROSS; OR,

"Where the crystal waters flow." 

This is the greatest curiosity upon the mouutain. It is in 
the side of the bluflf. Nature has formed a reservoir that re- 
ceives the sparkling nectar, which"01d Jupiter himself might 
sip," and thank the goddess for the refreshing draught of 
freestone ale as cold as ice-water. The water has been forced 
up this tremendous bluff by a wind-mill, made by Ruble & 
Co., into a large reservoir, on the top of the mountain. 
This supplies the citizen on the brow. This spring is said to 
have been discovered by Mrs. Whitesides, who owns a goodly 
portion of the mountain. She went around the side, and hear- 
ing the water fall, climbed a large tree in front of it. She 
then shouted, "Eureka." But we doubt her being the first, 
for Messrs. Britton and Reynolds and ourself started from 
the spring and went around to the point with great difficulty. 
At one point we had to climb ninety feet on our hands and 
knees with the water pouring over us. Some places we had 
to slide down from ten to twelve feet, at others, cross ravines 
on trees blown across the chasm, at others through crevices, 
sometimes entering large chambers and coming out upon a 
projecting cliff, at a frightful height ; briers and bushes some- 
times so thick as almost to obstruct our progress. Fainter 
hearts would have despaired of ever getting up or down. At 
times, it did appear that we had come to an end, but Mr. 
Britton, who led the little party, was indefatigable, and so 
were we. To go on amid these impediments, it seemed some- 
thing like heroism. To feel that we were treading where no 
white man ever trod before, and it inspired us with courage 
to proceed along the dangerous pathway. At one time we 
stood on the side of Roper's rock, twenty-three hundred feet 
above tide-water, and twenty-five hundred above the valley. 
Here we sung : 

"Guide me, oh, thou great Jehovah, 
Over this barren wilderness." 

The sound echoed through the empty space between us 
and the valley with a sweetness that filled our hearts with 
faith to continue along our perilous journey, stopping only 
to refresh ourselves with the sylvan waters that came trick- 
ling down the grey cheeks of the mountain. We continued 
on without tn*ing until we neared the point. Seeing a rug- 
ged chance of touching the brow of the mountain, we deter- 
mined, nothing daunted by previous hardships, to attempt an 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 13 

ascent. Mr. R. remarked that we would make a big noise 
if we went down, and to ascertain how much, he started a 
very large rock that went with a fearful crash, nor did it stop 
until it reached the bottom of the Tennessee river, taking 
with it trees and dirt, and crushing the bright flowers in its 
destructive road to eternal rest. We took breath, and star- 
ted up with pockets full of pebbles, mosses, &c., which we will 
show at the Georgia State Fair, at Atlanta, this fall. With a 
firm setting of our canes, (all tourists should use canes, la- 
dies in particular, for they are a sure support, and you can 
walk ten miles more a day with one, than without,) we star- 
ted upon the uncertain ascent with diligence and perseve- 
rance, and reached the top in safety. On landing, we looked 
down to where we had started and gave one exultant shout 
for our safety. We think that was the Indians' war-trail to 
the point, but do not think that for years any human foot 
had been upon the ground where we went, for not a vestige 
marked the step of man. 

Farther down is a well-beaten path that any one can travel. 
We think that the Indians used this spring, but be that as it 
may, it it worth the trip to behold it. Cross the platform at 
the spring, go a short distance, and you will see 

SHELTER ROCK. 

This is largo, with an arched dome. Many rocks lay loose 
around, like they had been arranged for a council of the old 
chiefs, but the certainty of that we do not know ; wc only 
suppose it to be the case. But Ave do know that during the 
late war, about five hundred Confederate soldiers took shelter 
there, while the Federals were upon the mountain, and du- 
ring the night, they retreated down safely ; and during the 
battle all of the citizens took refuge there, and were safe 
from intrusion of any kind. The Rev. Mr. Tennent held the 
beautiful church service there. Oh, how truly impressive 
did it appear in that great dome of nature ! Truly the Tem- 
ple of the Lord made with His hand ! How sublime the 
scene ! How appropriate, as the solemn words were read by 
that good man, Ave felt hoAV unworthy we Avere as anthem 
after anthem Avas sung out. The SAveet melody was borne 
along the breeze and the little birds chirped back the res- 
ponse in sweet raptures that filled the soul with ncAv-born 
joy. The ripling spring sung its never ceasing song and all 
nature was in harmony with the sacred spot. The sun shone 
through the leaves casting their lace-work shadoAvs around

the holy scene, while the air was fragrant with the wild flow- 
ers on the sides. The day was one long to be remembered 
by those who participated in the solemn devotions, on the 
side of this grand old mountain. 

On comming vip the mountain from the spring, at the foot of 
the third flight of steps, you will observe a path leading 
around the side of the mountain, follow that a short distance 
and you will come to a large cave, easy of access. This path 
leads down the mountain to the road, also, it is called short- 
cut. Next comes the 

PRETTY COTTAGE OF MR. R. M. LINN. 

Messrs. Linn & Brother are the artists upon the mountain. 
All who visit them will find them polite and courteous, and 
will give you a most excellent picture in a most picturesque 
style. This house is upon the left as you go to the point. 
On the right, you will observe a little iron-railing neatly set. 
This surrounds the grave of Miss Sally Cocke, whose young 
life was lost by crossing the Catawba river during a freshet in 
Georgia. She was as lovely as the white lillies that bloom 
above her lonely grave. ' Twas the spot she loved. The ivy 
gracefully twines itself around her silent bed like her sweet 
face and gentle spirit hovers around our memory. The house, 
close by, is the property of her father, Col. D. F. Cocke, but 
now nearly in ruins. As you leave the grave from the gate, 
turn to the blufi" and you will see 

SADDLE ROCK. 
Like the vultures, they swoop in clamorous swarm. 

This is the Rock that Eliza fled to with the child of the thirty 
murdered ; she flew to its high point with the child in her 
arms ; here she declared that she would jump down the sides 
and dash out her own brains ere the golden locks of the fair- 
haired boy should be touched ; she told the clamorous sav- 
age about her, he was the Spirit of the Great Spirit, and had 
been sent to save the nation, and that she was resolved not to 
part with him. Oh, how beautiful she must have looked as she 
stood upon that pinnacle, with her long, luxuriant hair float- 
ing around her olive cheek, her dark eyes flashing with a just 
indignation at her people, whose blood was boiling to end 
the life of the defenceless child. But her firmness saved 
him — his name was Brown — his life was spared, and he did 
become a saviour of the nation, truly. Pie was the first man 
to preach Christ and Him crucified to them — he was about

ten years old when taken. The early influence of a pious 
mother and father, and their untimely death had made a last- 
ing impression upon the hoy-man. He was kindly nursed 
and ■watched by Eliza, her mother and Nancy Ward, another 
Indian maid of great beauty and power, who belonged to the 
Ridge Tribe^ but held equal influence with each party. After 
Mrs. Bean and Mrs. Jennings came to remain in the camps, 
they taught Brown and Eliza in all that they knew them- 
selves. They were apt scholars and learned readily. You 
will now proceed on toward the point ; every step you take 
is upon a 

BATTLE FIELD. 

Co-existent •wilh glory, co-equal with fame. 

We shall not enter into the general details of the battle 
farther than to mention that which will interest you for a 
short space. The thundering of General Bragg's artillery 
boomed upon the broad crown of the old hazy mountain. 
Sharp-shooters stood upon and around the rocks, the trees 
were filled with them. The day was a long, hard one to 
those who contested the field. Anxious hearts beat with ex- 
pectations of the day's result. By the time you read this 
you will have reached the summit of Lookout ; you will ob- 
serve a tree of peculiar formation, whose arms are bared of 
bark, and whose whole appearance is ghostly. This is the 

SIGNAL STATION 

of Grant Wilkins, Chief of C. S. A. Signals, but now a bridge- 
builder, and who built the grand iron bridge over Rolling 
Water, on the Wills Valley side of the mountain, for Mem- 
phis and Chattanooga, Nashville and Chattanooga, and Chat- 
tanooga and Alalama railroads. Turn short to the left, 
above the Signal Station, and proceed on in the broad path; 
this Avill take you to General Bragg's 

MAGAZINE, 

and the fortifications around the mountain-top. This posi- 
tion was held during the battle, by Gen'ls Wheeler and Pil- 
low, of the Confederate army. Here Gen. Polk and staff 
took dinner with Aunt Sally Marbrick, an old Indian ; she 
relates the circumstances with great pleasure. Every step 
you now take is upon the battle-field. As you wend your 
way along, you will discover trenches all the ^Yay to the point.

MOON RISE FROxM ROPER's ROCK. 

There are few scenes of grandeur that can equal this glori- 
ous sight. The queen of night slowly ascending her throne, 
her cresent appearing and casting mellow rays over the valley, 
lighing up the golden wheat-fields with floods of her beauty, 
causing them to look like silver-lakes, while the fleecy-clouds 
cast their shadows over them, reminding us of the " Lady of 
the Lake" riding in her little barque, while the millions of 
stars sang together in sweet serenity, and the angels wove 
wreaths of friendship for those they love, and put them upon 
the brow of night, and dropped their pitying tear upon the 
parched lips of the drooping flower. The gorgeous heavens 
held an endless Sabbath while all creation spread in slumber 
of the moonlight scene around. So calm and tranquil is the 
■ scene that the mildness and impress of the Creator is stamped 
upon it. It spreads its quiet wings above the grave of 

MR. ROPER, 

who fell from this enormous height and was crushed by the 
great fall — a rib having gone through his heart. He came 
near taking a lady, who was standing by his side, over with 
him ; had her dress been other than muslin her fate could 
not have been less than his, hut it tore, and she was spared 
the awful doom of him. This young man was an artist in 
the employ of Mr. Linn. This rock is called, by some, 
Signal Rock, as Gen, Bragg had a station upon it. You 
will pass this rock nearly opposite the sign of battle field gal- 
lery, its top is rather white, easily known by that. You can 
view its height by stepping down a few steps on either side. 
This is the place we came up. Turn to your left and you will 
return to a narrow path by the sign-board; this leads you to 

PULPIT, OR DAVIS' ROCK. 

This is where Jefferson Davis addressed the troops when 
he made his general tour through the South, when Gen. Bragg 
was in command. Brown, also, preached his first sermon 
from that pulpit, hence it derived its name. There sat the 
wild savage, listening to him whose life they sought so hard 
to destroy ; they had learned to love and respect him ; 
his efforts had been blest. A little further on is 

TABLE ROCK. 

Jefferson Davis, Gen. Bragg and Staff, Gen. " Tige" An- 
derson and Staff, Gen. Howell Cobb and several others, dined 
upon this rock. A step farther on, and we were on 





Point Lookoct.— Old Van. Seepage

POINT LOOKOUT. 

The courier rode in as the noon-hour came, 

And told that the foe were advancing at last ; 
So the camp was aroused with a mingling acclaim, 
And the soldier's proud heart was enkindled with flame, 

As the squadrons went hurrying past. 
But the valley full soon was the valley of blood, 
As the musketry rolled, and sabres grew red. 
And men lay all dabbled and stained in the wood. 
The' the soldier's companions intrepidly stood. 

This Point was destined to be the scene of dark and bloody- 
acts. On a bright morning when the fields were glistening 
with the rich harvest, the boom of cannon resounded over 
the mountain brow. Gen. Walthall's brigade was placed 
upon this point beneath the rock. You see, this is steep and 
dangerous. Gen. Hooker made a feint at the foot of the 
mountain to give General Geary the chance to close in on 
them, which he did, and captured Gen. Walthall's brigade. 
But Gen. Bragg was up to them. He sent reinforcements 
and routed the Federals, three hundred of whom retreated 
by the ladders to Chattanooga, through Mr. Craven's orch- 
ard. The Rebels being mounted could not go down. Anoth- 
er line was formed, in which the Confederates stood three 
hours without a break. At last, being thoroughly exhausted, 
they fled up the point and put out sharp-shooters, so none 
could come up the ladders, or take them away. (Mr. 
Linn has a crib made of the ladders.) Thus the day was passed, 
and in the darkness of night. Gen. Hooker drifted sixty boats 
with men and poontoon-bridges, and took possession of Rac- 
coon Gap, and threw his bridges across at Kelly's Landing — 
Brown's ferry. Scouts reported this to Gen. Bragg and during 
the night he retreated into Georgia. Had the Confederates 
held the Gap the Federals would had to have retreated on 
account of the great difficulty of procuring supplies. As you 
stand upon this sublime height, you will find food for the 
mind to dwell upon. You can step into Mr. Linn's recep- 
tion rooms and find the finest collection of pictures in 
any artists' room in the United States. He is polite and 
obliging and will make an excellent picture of you on this 
historic and romantic spot. On the following morning 
General Hooker called for volunteers to go up the ladders. 
He said the risk was too great to order any one up. Capt. 
Wilson, of Ky,, first volunteered and then five men. He took 
the flag and led the way, but encountered no difficulty as the 
mountain had been evacuated. He planted the colors on the 
point and then went down.

SUNSET ON THE BATTLE FIELD. 

The shadows of evening are thickening. Twilight closes, 
and the thin mists are rising in the valley. The last char- 
ging squadron j^et thunders in the distance, but it presses 
only on the foiled and scattered foe. For this day the fight 
is over. 

And those who rode foremost in the field at morning, 
where are they now ? On the biinks of yon Tennessee, there 
lies a soldier ! His life blood is ebbing faster than the tide ! 
Soldier, why faintest thou ? Thg blood that swells from 
that deep wound shall answer. It was on this morning that 
the sun rose bright upon his hopes ! It sets upon his grave ! 
This day he led the foremost in the ranks ! When they had 
-crossed the foe's dark lines, death shouted in the onset ! It 
was the last blow that reached him! He has conquered, 
though he shall not triumph in the victory ! His breast is 
dented, his clothes are soiled ! The scarf upon his breast ! 
she who placed it there would shrink to touch it now ! Sol- 
dier, what will thy fair one say? She will say that her love 
died worthily ! Aye, rouse thee ! for the battle chafes in the 
■distance ! Thy friends are shouting ! Thy pennon floats 
on high ! Look at yon crimson field that seems to mock the 
purple clouds above it ! Prostrate they lie, drenched in their 
■dark red pool ; thy friends and thy enemies, the dead and 
dying, the veteran and the stripling of the day, the name- 
less troops ! Friends lie by friends, the steed with his rider, 
and foes linked in their long embrace, their first and last, the 
grip of death ! Far over the field they, a gorgeous prey to 
ruin, white plumes and steel bayonets, glistening sabre and 
sword, crescent and cross, rich uniforms with bright stars ! 
We came to fight as if we had come to a feasting ! Glorious 
and glittering, even in death, each shining warrior lies ! His 
last glance still seeks the Christian banner ! The cry shall 
never be repeated that cheers on his last charge; oh, but for 
strength, once more, to reach the field, to seethe foe's front I 
Peace, dreamer, thou hast done well ! Thy place in the close 
rank is filled, and yet another waits for his who holds it ! 
Soldier, hast thou yet a thought ? bend it on heaven. The 
past is gone, the dark future lies before ! Gaze on yon gor- 
geous sky, thy home should lie beyond it ! Life, honor, love, 
they pass to Him that gave them ! Pride, that came like an 
ocean's billow, see around thee, how it lies mute and passive ! 
The wealthy here are poor ! The high-born have no prece-

dence ! The strong are powerless, the mean content ! The 
fair and lovely have no followers ! Soldier, she who sped thee 
on thy course to-day, her blue eyes shall seek thee in the con- 
quering ranks to-morrow, but shall it be in vain ! Well it is, 
thou shonldst have died, with all to live for ! Wouldst 
thou be base to have thy death a blessing ? Proud necks 
shall mourn for thee, bright eyes shall weep for thee ! They 
that live shall envy thee ! Death — glory takes out thy sting ! 
The shades of night are drawing on ; soldier thine eyes are 
darkening ! A last ray of sun yet lies upon the lofty moun- 
tain's brow, even as he sinks. Thy soul shall follow him ! 
See how thy steed feeds beside thee ! His dark eye falls 
mildly on his master, and he pauses. Poor beast, thine 
instinct sees some wrong, yet knows it not ! Browse on, and 
Heaven who guards its meanest creatures send thee a kind 
protector! Warrior! aye, the streams of that rill flows cool, 
but thy lips no mere shall taste it ! The moonlight that sil- 
vers its white foam shall glitter on thy stars when the eye 
is closed and dim ! Now the night is coming, the mist is 
gathering in the valley, the fox steals forth to seek his quar- 
ry, and the gray owl swoops whirling by, rejoicing in the 
stillness ! 0, soldier ! how sweetly sounds the night-bird's 
melody, how fragrant are the dew-sprinkled flowers that twine 
around thee ! Neither the song of the bird, nor the fragrant 
flower shall delight thee more ! To thy God we commend 
thee ! Hark to its long note ! sweet is that sound to the ear 
of the spent and routed foe ; the victor hears it not. When 
the breath rose that blew that note, he lived ; its peal has 
sounded and his soul has departed. Heath ! thou should'st 
be a soldier's pillow. Moon ! let thy cold light this night 
fall upon him. But morning, thy soft dews must tempt him 
not, the soldier must wake no more. He sleeps the sleep of 
honor ! His cause was his country's ! He is dead ! The 
cross of the Christian soldier is on his breast ; his lips are 
pressed to his lady's token ! Soldier, farewell ! 

A MARRIAGE CEREMONY ON POINT LOOKOUT. 

This is always a pleasing sight, but how much more so 
when in the open air upon a high pinnacle of nature, with 
the blue canopy of heaven above, and the rippling waters 
singing their gurgling anthem ; the air fragrant with the 
balmy floAvers of spring, while the breeze is melodious with 
the music of birdling notes perched upon the grand old trees 
about them. This occurred in May. A handsome couple in 



20 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

the glow of youth and hope, "which invest life with a halo of 
happiness, appeared there together to openly acknowledge 
their preference for each other, and voluntarily enter into a 
league of perpetual friendship, and call heaven and earth to 
witness the sincerity of the solemn vows — to think of the en- 
dearing connection, the important consequence, the final sep- 
aration, the smile that kindles to ecstacy at their union, must 
at length he quenched in tears of mourning, hut while life 
continues, they are to participate in the same joys, to endure 
the like sorrows, to rejoice and weep in unison. This is cer- 
tainly the most interesting spectacle which social life exhib- 
its. Wm. McFarland and Iza Murry are the party spoken of. 

This marriage is not the first upon this stupendous height ; 
here many an Indian maid was given to tiie Chief, in the 
following manner, by the old Indian law : " I marry this In- 
dian to this Squaw — by this tomahawk and knife 1 make you 
man and toife;" here he holds up the weapons spoken of. 
They then had the usual amount of feasting and amusement. 
noah's umbrella. 

Whether that gentleman used this or not we cannot say, 
and whether this mountain is oiot 3It. Ararat we are not quite 
certain. It may have been, as it is lofty, and has the um- 
brella upon its point, and all the trees are topped, whether 
by the scraping of the Ark or the shell of latter days, or the 
wind, we cannot tell, as no history furnishes the facts, con- 
sequently you can infer what you please, as that is most 
pleasant. But of this, we are certain, that Eliza used to sit 
beneath it and fold the orphan boy in her arms, and twine 
his curls around her finger, while they would rehearse the 
bloody tragedy of his parents and friends, sleeping beneath 
the singing-bird, Tennessee. She would wipe the tears from 
his eyes and cheer his little heart with an affectionate word. 
This is the north side of the point and the umbrella. You can 
wend your way along the cliff until you come to a flight of 
steps, go down these steps, follow the stepping-stones until 
you reach two paths, one leads to the right the other the left, 
the latter to a spring of cool, refreshing water beneath a 
projecting cliff. Here the artist does a great deal of his work. 
The former will lead you to the foot of the mountain and the 
entrance of 

LOOKOUT CAVE. 

This is a change from fostering sun 
To frost-grit-cloud and biting wind, 

A waste before you, drear and dim, 
And all the lawns behind. 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 21 

"We shall not attempt to describe this giant cave. It has 
been explored as far as seven miles. Many things are told of 
the grandeur of this wonderful structure, but we have been 
only about a mile; as we had no company, our courage failed 
after we had crossed the natural bridge, which crossed a 
deep and rapid stream that comes over a high fall. A great 
many chambers, high, large, and in great variety of forms ; 
some with glittering pendants that glistened like diamonds. 
We found a box of green crome paint, some torches, a silver 
coin, and some Indian relics. In 1812, saltpeter was made 
here ; later, salt was made. Messrs. John A. Lee and Mur- 
dock, of Chattanooga, got lost for seventeen hours in there. 
They found the bones of a human, not scalped, and two bot- 
tles of brandy ; one appeared to be in the hand of the skele- 
ton ; a little was gone out of it, but the other was full ; the 
corks were nearly rotted, and the brandy was like syrup, so 
thick and rich. Jerry Frier and James Butcher, of Missis- 
sippi, also, found two skeletons, side by side, not scalped; 
they found a bottle two-thirds full of whisky, as thick as mo- 
lasses, which they brought out. No doubt but these men 
were adventurous persons, desirous of exploring the cave, 
and had got lost, and laid down and died. It is impossible 
to learn further of it. We would strongly recommend that 
a party of explorers be gotten up, and the expedition go 
on this summer ; we have no doubt but a great deal of interest 
would be brought before the world, as many hidden treas- 
ures are securely secreted in its dark precincts. As we can- 
not record some startling scene of Indian transaction, we will 
give one or two that came under our own observation. Du- 
ring the war a couple had made great preparations to have* 
a large loedding in Chattanooga. Neither time nor expense 
had been spared to obtain the luxuries that sit upon the ta- 
ble, in the lawn of Col. D. F. Cocke's handsome residence ; 
the bride was from Nashville, and the groom from Louisiana. 
The beautiful bride had just donned the last ornament of 
pearls, when bang, bang, bang, rung out from the skirmishers, 
and soon whiz, whir, zip went shot and shell through the air, 
going over the table. As quickly as by magic, all was gath- 
ered off the table and thrust into a wagon, while the party 
got into ambulances, carts and wagons, and beat a hasty re- 
treat to Lookout Cave. Here they unloaded and spread the 
tables upon the rocks, lighted up the cave with the candles 
that was to have lighted the sumptuous parlors of that 
princely mansion, and the marriage ceremony was performed,

amid the din of battle above them, and the fare eaten in 
the bowels of the earth. Also, during the battle of Chicka- 
mauga, many fled there for safety, and one lady who was 
sick was borne there on her bed. The darkness and silence 
of the gloomy place preyed so upon her weak frame that she 
was carried out in her cofiin. Many exiles remained there 
for some time, and it presented quite the appearance of life. 
Thus, you will perceive, that a variety of interest is attached 
to this giant cave. The easiest mode of reaching the cave 
is to take the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, and get 
oft' at the mouth. 

PROM THE SIGNAL STATION 

you will turn to the left, follow a well-beaten path until it 
branches ; you will take the left again ; this path is a little in- 
distinct, but not difficult to follow. (It will be made plainer 
shortly.) In going toward the cliff j^ou will observe a large, 
flat rock, on which Eliza laid the weary boy, and sat by his 
side to watch his slumbers, while the wild beasts howled furi- 
ously about them. She built a fire to keep off the monsters, 
while they slept. Thus passed the night. A little further 
on and you will observe a rock in the shape of a toad ; this 
was disturbed by the soldiers during the war — they made an 
effort to throw it off the bluff, but only partailly removed its 
romantic position. This is 

SUNSET ROCK. 

All silvered hang the clouds at set of sun, 
Festooning the expansive vault on high. 
» Like gossamer, which angels may have spun 

To decorate their mansions in the sky. 

Few greater pleasures elevate my soul, 

And thrill it with an ecstacy divine. 
Than thus to watch the evening sky unfold 

Its myriad beauties like a poet's rhyme. 

Each gilded vane, and spire, and house-top glow 

Amid the lustre of the King of Day : 
And, too, the fields and forests amply show 

The grandeur of his luminous decay. 

In sweeter symphony the streamlets flow, 

The gayety ot children seems as light, 
And all the little birds do seem to know 

That I rejoice to hear them sing " good-night.'" 

The while I watch the clouds fode one by one, 

Like animation from the aged eye. 
Thought is persuaded by the parting sun, 

Thus have I seen the saint of glory die. 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 23 

Those round bis couch have watched the pallid face. 

Contracting in the cunning grasp of death ; 
Yet oft his joj's his spectral ills erase 

Till, like the clouds, in heaven melts his breath. 

There Eliza and Brown, with Mrs. Bean and Mrs. Jen- 
nings, used to sit and see the sun sink to rest ; here they "were 
told the "sweet story of okl, how Christ had died for them," 
and that the setting of the sun was only a small resemblance 
of the celestial glory beyond the skies — here they learned 
their first lesson of true faith. How beautiful was that faith ! 
for, in after years, both Eliza and her protege stood, like the 
rock upon Missionary Ridge — which is plainly seen from this 
point — and told the same story to her tribe, that she, herself, 
had learned. Oh, reader ! this is one of the most gorgeous 
scenes upon the mountain. We sat there to see " Old Sol" 
retire — that king of day slowly drove his firery chariot along 
the Western sky, leaving white and fleecy clouds behind his 
pathw"ay, which flitt9d around his royal person in a graceful 
manner as his weary steeds wended their way cheerfully. At 
last, the door of the royal stable opened, and in he drove, 
leaving the dome above his royal couch resplendent with gold, 
purple, azure white andamber, while the green mantle of na- 
ture glistened in the varied hues above, and casting no less 
a variety upon he^' carpets. The golden wheat glistened 
with his warm smile ; the birds carroled their sweetest notes; 
the ripling streams sung a lullaby to his departing majesty, 
while the lofty trees, the shrubs and the modest flower nod- 
ded him good-night. The river sparkled with delight, the 
grey and sombre brows of the mountain looked cheerful as 
the moss bent its little head and folded its tiny leaves for the 
night ; the chirp of the grasshopper was melodious On the 
sublime stillness, which is broken by the Nashville and Chat- 
tannooga train, whose rumbling sound reminds us to look 
down the frightful precipice upon which we sat. It looks no 
larger than a large catawba worm running along, showing 
how insignificant is the works of man to that of God. At 
last, his highness sank to rest upon his golden couch. The 
queen of night drew the purple and amber curtains around 
his majesty, and he slumbered. When he slept the queen 
of the cresent sat upon the throne. 

Oh, this sight we'd rather see 
Than all the eold and gems, 
Tiiat ere in monarch colTers shouc, 
Than all their diadems.

SUNRISE FROM BRAGQ'S ROCK. 

Aurora with her dress 

Of many colors, finely spun. 
"Iler locks hung loosely round her flice, 

And through them gold and gems profusely shone, 
Her girdle sparkled, and the richest lace 

Flow'd in her veil, and many precious stones 
Flashed on her litttle hand — '—' 

SUNRISE ON LOOKOUT. 

Now the rosy fingers of Aurora unlocks the gohlen doors 
of the East, and the steeds of Phosbus spring fiom the deep, 
diffusing the beams of day, and driving before them the stars 
of Heaven into the deep. 

As she drew the silver curtains of his royal couch aside, 
and peeped into the canopy where he lay sleeping, she patted 
his royal cheek, and played amid his golden locks. At last, 
he opened his eyes and saw the smiling beauty peeping at 
him with a saucy look. She jumped back. He raised him= 
self a little. She caught his golden crown and clapped it 
upon her pretty little head, shook her finger at the lazy king 
and ran off laughing at him. She jumped into his fiery char- 
iot, took the reins of day and drove off. Her scarf floated 
upon the azure sky, while gold and purple streams of glory 
shone around her radiant beauty, and silver clouds flitted in 
her pathway. "Old Sol" determined to catch the rosy beauty, 
around whom flitted a thousand little cherubs, and cupid's 
wicked heart was no less interested. This little rogue had 
his quiver full of darts that he would fire at the impudent 
lady, while the angels showered her path with fragrant roses 
that filled the air wnth their perfumed breath, reviving the 
nostrils of man who had the courage to shake oft" sleep and 
wander to this delightful paradise. She would laugh at the 
mischievous urchin who could not draw his bow aright. At 
last, the old king caught the tempting scarf, and winding it 
around his majesty, he caught the fiery steed and jumped in- 
to the royal chariot, took the reins and drove off for the day. 
As he started upon the road over the mountain, the clouds 
in the valley began to recede like the waves of the ocean ; 
one after the other ascended, as he drove onward. As they 
departed, the fertile valley was revealed to our enraptured 
eye, Avith its rich fields of golden wheat now glistening in the 
harvest sheaves, while the reapers sang the song of happy 
hearts. The little brooks and rivulets danced along ; the 
trees, clothed in the rich verdure of summer, sparkled with

the angels' tears of night, their boughs filled with feathered 
songsters ^hosc melody could not be excelled, as their sil- 
very notes fell upon our ear. Our hearts swelled in deep rev- 
erence to Him who is the Great Engineer and Architect of 
the world, which Ho holds in the hollow of His hand. Let 
him who says there is no God, walk upon this spot and view 
the broad fields before him ; survey the expanse of waters 
that his eye can rest upon ; let him examine this stupendous 
structure with its springs and little mountains, its caves, its 
medicinal Avaters, its plains, its many structures, its great 
variety of vegetables, its thousands of flowers, its great variety 
of trees, birds and animals, the soft tinkling of the bells up- 
on the cattle's neck, as they graze upon this high and lofty 
eminence, fills the heart with melody. Go to the lake, the 
falls, the gulf and the mines, look upon them and say there 
is no God if he dare, or let him stand upon the bluff and 

WITNESS A THUNDER SHOWER. 

As Jupiter's all-seeing eye 

SuvveyVl the worlds beneath the skj'', 
From this small speck of earth was sent. 

Murmurs and sound of discontent. — Uomer. 

The glory of the king of day shining over his head and 
not a cloud obscures his dazzling rays. The cool breeze fans 
his heated brow, while the grass sways to and fro in the 
breath of the atmosphere. But below, that valley which was 
so lovely to behold this morning, is not visible. "Old Jupi- 
ter" is angry, and vents his wrath upon the people of that 
charming spot. Dark clouds hang upon the gray brow of 
Lookout ; distant thunder mutters around this majestic old 
spot, while darker grow the clouds and louder rolls the thun- 
der. The little birds seek the mountain top ; the raven croaks 
and finds shelter in a safer rookery. "Old Jupiter" now 
charges his artillery with a fearful fire that rattles through 
the valley and echoes upon the top of this high bluff. Look 
over and see the lightning write its fiery path along the dark 
cloud, then disappear and so mark another in a difterent spot. 
Now comes the hail in rattling stones, the wind whistles in 
furious screams and the rain descends in torrents, dashing 
down the cliffs, yet all is fair above his head. Slowly rises 
the thunder clouds ; soon he is enveloped in them and the 
forked lightning plays about him ; the deafening roars of thun- 
der fill his ear with its dreadful crash ; he is entirely ob- 
scured from view, the rain drenches him, the hail pelts him, 
he seeks shelter. Can he, after viewing all these works 
of the Omnipotent hand, say there is NO God ?

CHAPTER III. 

THE OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN. 

This old man lias never fretted his heart away, little by little, on many 

shrines, 
But keeping all from her who looked at him through the vines. 

This is one of the most singular structures of nature. The 
profile from the right side is perfect, and its features very 
strongly resemble one who is familiar to every American heart. 
This strange old man has set upon his high throne for cen- 
turies. Those who have the courage to approach him do so 
with a reverential awe, yet every one takes a lock of his mos- 
sy hair until he shows a well developed head. Queer old gen- 
tleman — he never meddles with politics, never makes po- 
litical speeches, has no desire to run for President, Gover- 
nor, or Congress, but is perfectly content to look down upon 
those who do make fools of themselves for oflEice. He is not 
at all communicative, but looks down upon his admirers in 
grim silence. The beard of this respectable old gentleman 
is white laurel, and beautifully it becomes him. To visit this 
distinguished personage, you will go directly through the yard 
of the Mountain House, cross a fence, turn to your left in a 
bridle path, go to the corner of the fence, turn to your right, 
follow along a wide path, you will pass a yellow cottage — this 
is the home of aunt Sarah, a laundress, who will whiten your 
clothes, if desired, at one dollar per dozen, three small pieces 
for one. You will then continue on until you come to a large 
house upon the hill. This house is the property of Mr. Mc- 
Collough, once a very wealthy gentleman. These halls have 
been filled with the elite of the sunny South, and many a 
sumptuous banquet eaten under the luxuriant trees in the 
garden, Avhile the whole surroundings are of the most roman- 
tic nature. During the late "unpleasantness" this house was 
the scene of sorrow, for it was a hospital, and is now in a 
ruined state. Thus amid grandeur sublime, are the ruins of 
decay. By placing yourself upon the green sloping bank, 
upon which the house stands, you will have a perfect view of 
the Old Man of the Mountain. A litttle further on and you 
find 

THE NATURAL BRIDGE AND CHALYBEATE fPRING. 

The Natural Bridge, how grandly glow. 
Beneath it, soft strains of music flow 
Down to the heart like some fond melody. 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 27 

The bridge is quite equal to the Natural Bridge of Virgin- 
ia for beauty and wildness of scenery. It is not quite as 
high but the span is longer. At the back part of the ravine, 
far in the side of the mountain, is a Chalybeate sprin<^, which 
never fails to be well filled at all seasons. Out of the centre of 
the bridge runs a continual torrent of water, that forms many 
rivulets, which go along singing their gurgling anthems, while 
the song of the mother is heard afar. Here Eliza used to 
bathe the brows of the dying victims of her own race, and here 
many a lover told the tale of love to the pretty maiden whose 
eyes would flash with delight. Here she led young Blount 
over the bridge to visit a dying man concealed between two 
rocks, upon the ridge just beyond the bridge, to tiie right. 
Now, reader, you can follow her footsteps by taking the path 
close to the bridge, cro'^s the rivulet, follow a short distance, 
then ascend — the ascent is easy — turn to the right and you 
will cross, continue on, bearing to the right, and you will 
meet the old gentleman that we have spoken of. You will 
then enter the path that you left to ascend, take the left hand 
and you Avill find the Mountain House, where you started; or 
you can turn directly to the right from the fence, take the 
broad path a short distance ; you will see a little cottage with 
a pretty yard, where the roses bloom. Enter that room and 
you will be greeted by aunt Sallie, one of the Indians of the 
Cherokee nation. Her hospitality cannot be excelled by a 
princess; her jug of fresh butteirailk is brought out with the 
light, white biscuit and golden butter. While despatching that 
she will entertain you with tales of old. She is the respec- 
ted wife of a white man and is beloved by all who know her. 
She is a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
South. When you leave there you can go to a Chalybeate 
spring of great strength, by turning to the right and going on 
to the liill. This water is cool. The church to Avhich she 
belongs is about five miles in the State of Georgia, on the 
road to the lake. The Rev. Mr. Carden holds service once 
a month there ; time of preaching can always be ascertained 
from aunt Sallie, so those wishing to attend can do so. We 
also have service at the Mountain House at 4 o'clock P. M., 
every Sunday, by the Rev. W. Mob;iy, of the Episcopal de- 
nomination. Thus we are reminded amid the pleasures o 
life the great importance of looking out a preparation for a 
brighter and better mountain in the heavenly range of Look- 
outs where we may meet the dear ones already upon that 
point of celestial glory. 



28 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

To visit Rock City, the Lake, the Falls and the Gulf, you 
will go toward the toll-gate, turn to the right, go past the 
old hospital, continue toward the left until you come to a 
great number of chimneys; this was Gen. " Tige" Ander- 
son's camp, turn to the left and that will take you to Rock 
City. To go to the Lake and the Falls, you will keep the 
straight road, drive on until you come to a long building on 
the right, after going down a hill, hitch there, as it is not 
safe to drive further, walk to the left and you will Si'.fely reach 

LAKE SECLUSION. 

Close by a rock of enormous height 

Breaks tlie wikl waves aud tonus a dangerous strait, 

Full oa its crown the green branches rise, 

And shoot a leafy forest to the skies. 

Beneath Charybdis holds her boisterous reign, * 

' Midst roaring whirlpools, and absorbs the main. 

Thrice in her gulf ihe roaring falls subside. 

Thrice iu dire thunders she refunds the tide. 

Oh, if thy vessel plough the direiull waves, 

When seas, retreating, roar within her caves. 

Odyssey, Book xii. 

We quote Koraer, as that better describes this wonder than 

any language we could use. The depth of this lake no man 

has yet discovered, it has no aparent outlet, and yet there is 

a continual rush of waters to its bosom. It is somewhat 

similar in form to the "Devil's Punch Bowl" in the Lakes 

of Kalarney. The rocks project out far over its face, while 

EAGLE CLIEF 

frowns down, and smiles at the same time upon its silvery 
bosom. The wildness of this spot is seldom equaled. Here 

The eagle spi-ings from the dizzy crag, 
» And pierced the dim empyrean height, 

Fatigue cannot his pinions flag, 
Nor storms beat back his Ibrward flight. 

The brows of these cliffs are rich in the luxurient gifts of 
Flora, who dispenses with a liberal hand the many colors 
and great variety. The Rhododendron^ of several species, 
grow in great profusion upon the cliffs and rocks. Its beauty 
is not excelled by the Magnolia, only that it is more majestic 
while the other has the lovely tints of many dyes. You will 
wish for the fairy of the lake. So kind reader let the little 
Indian maid be the fairy, here she skipped and played around 
its borders ; here she sang her little song and paddled her 
canoe, with Brown by her side. We think we can see the 
lovely girl with laughing face, throwing her flowers upon 
the bosom of the lake. 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 29 

On the velvet banks of this lake sat this Indian child. Her 
lap was filled with flowers, and a garland of wild rosebuds were 
twined around her neck. Her face was as radiant as the 
sunshine that fell upon it, and her voice as clear as that of 
the birds that Avarbled by her side. The little stream went 
rushing down, and with each gush of its music the child lifted 
a flower in its dimpled hand, and with a merry laugh threw 
it upon its dashing surface, and then smiled to see it borne 
down the snowy steep. In her glee she forgot that her treas- 
ures were growing less, and with the swift motion of child- 
hood, she flung them upon the sparkling tide until every bud 
and blossom had disappeared. Then seeing her loss, she 
sprung upon her feet and burst into tears, calling aloud to 
the stream to "Bring back my flowers." But it danced 
alons:, regardless of her tears, and as it bore the blossomino; 
burden away, her words came back in a taunting echo along 
the reedy margin. And long after, amid the wailing of the 
breeze, and the fitful burst of childish grief was heard, the 
fruitless cry of "Bring back my flowers." Then she ran 
around to the other side, jumped into her canoe and paddled 
out upon the lake to gather her scattered treasures. The 
tourists can cross the 

CREEK, 

which forms the falls ; and take the other side along the clifi", 
and keep on until they find a gradual descent ; or they can 
keep on this side, or the first side, and turn to the left, keeping 
close to the edge of the clifi", and you will observe a ladder, 
by going down this you can go under the falls of the Lake, 
whose snowy foams of spray would remind you of the fleecy 
clouds around the moon, as they reflect upon the dark sides 
of the cavern, while the roar of them above you, would not 
fail to inspire you with veneration and love of Longfellow's 
" Minnie-Ha-Ha." You will then walk a short distance 
along the creek borders, which is rock, and shortly you Avill 
hear the thunders of 

LULA FALLS. 

Far on she, it bore, where Scylla raves, 

And dire Charybdis rolls her thundering waves. 

Odyssey, Book xii. 

Here you stand upon the level with the torrent that makes 
the above lines of Homer applicable ; the fall is about two 
hundred feet, and is one hundred and twenty-five feet lower 
than the falls of the lake, which has no seeming outlet. You 



30 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

can continue along the right hand side and descend below 
these falls ; by keeping along the side of the gray old cliff 
you will be surprised to hear a terrible noise, this is 

BLOWINO SPRING. 

" Here Scylla bellows from her dire abodes." 

Of this we cannot say that which we would like, as no one 
could inform us of its curious formation. Every one seems 
to be afraid of it, the water rushes out with great voilence, 
and is thrown, like it were, with a hose ; a great current of 
air rushes out with it, as cold as any " nor-wester." We re- 
gret that we cannot inform you better about it. By keeping 
the bridle-path you will come to another of the same. These 
are seldom spoken of, as the guides who drive you upon 
the modntain dislike the trouble, and in fact, half of them do 
not know where they are or, any of the other places, save 
the Point, Rock City and the Lake. They do not know 
whereof Chicamauga Cliff or Roper's Rock, Sunset Rock, 
Bragg's Rock, the Natural Bridge or Old Man of the Moun 
tain. On reaching the point you can find the way yourself. 
These all have more or less interest, in them. But to return 
to the theme : Continue on and you will come out upon the 
mountain road. The path is very rugged. To return the 
same way that you came, go back to the ladder and climb 
up ; turn to your right, keep close to the cliff for a few hun- 
dred yards, and you will stand above 

LULA FALLS. 

Here you will have a lovely view of these dimpled waters 
that laugh and sing as they go down that abyss and roll on 
their endless journey. This is the best place for delicate ladies 
to view this sublime Lula, sparkling in the golden rays of the 
sun. Drivers will often tell you that the roads are not pas- 
sable, but such is not the case. The roads are rough, as all 
mountain roads are, but not very bad ; not at all dangerous. 
Mr. Richie is ever ready to take parties there, but those in 
town charge you as much and take you to the point only. 
Tourists can spend the day delightfully by taking a basket of 
lunch and getting a jolly set, and starting off determined to 
have a good time ; and you will have it. Large excursion 
parties would enjoy the the trip much. Persons desirous of 
seeing the mines in operation at Ilixon's, can do so from this 
point. These mines afford coal and copper, and some speci- 
imens of gold and silver have been found. Mr. William Ste- 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 31 

vens is the enterprising man who has gone to work. We will 
here state that we want more men of this kind. The country is 
teeming with its rich minerals and ores ; the golden treas- 
ures are locked in the stony sides of these mountains ; a lit- 
tle labor will bring it out. Why do not parties with capital 
form and explore this wild country. They have every facility 
to do so ; huving railroads from all parts of the continent, as 
well as steamboats, how much greater are their advantages 
than those of the pioneer who endured so much to explore a 
country filled with dangers of all kinds and hardships of ev- 
ery nature. We hope that these rich mines will be opened 
and the laborer rewarded for his research, and we feel assured 
he will be. Reader, we regret that we cannot take you 
to the spot where old Van buried two bushels of gold and 
silver coin, but certain it is he did bury it, and had two ne- 
groes to help him. lie then killed them, and \vas himself 
shortly afterwards killed, and the money ha's not been found 
to this day. 

CIIICKAMAUGA CLIFF. 
To visit this castle of nature you will turn to the right of 
the cabin, (if desired, a boy named Benjamin, or Ben, will 
conduct you to the spot,) or you will proceed on the wide 
path until you come to an old tree with brawny arms ; turn 
from that to the left and go straight ahead, and you will en- 
ter a cave, or cavern, with many chambers. A large flat 
stone stands in the centre, upon a pinnacle, just high enough 
for persons to eat from by sitting upon the ground with their 
feet under the table. This castle has a high front of seven 
hundred feet, with not a vine or shrub, but perfectly perpen- 
dicular, while its roof is of the most magnificent structure, 
with terrets,observatories and towers; chimneys with many or- 
naments that would adorn the handsomest structures of a city. 
In the centre of four corners of the roof is a cistern nearly 
to the top. This is round, and the water is conveyed into it 
from the roofs by regular conductors. This is called 

CISTERN ROCK. 

You can go all around the cistern below, and in the second 
story also. The inhabitants about there use this w^ater when 
the springs are dry. The water is pure and sweet. As you 
near the cliff you discover seats carved with a secure railing in 
front. To go upon the roof you will go through a gap called 

FAT man's MISERY. 

This when seen will explain its name in langunge more 



32 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

forcibly than we can do. When upon the top you -will 
turn to the left. You will then proceed along the sloping 
roof until you go fifty feet ; go down the corner about ten 
feet to another roof ; there you will enter the 

REFRESHMENT ROOM. 

This chamber is large, cool and airy, with spring &c., several 
round tables of stone. The one in the centre has the usual re- 
freshment card upon it. The floor is one flat stone, perfectly 
smooth ; and seats are around the tables. This castle was 
the headquarters of Gen. "Tige" Anderson and staff, of the 
the Confederate army, during the cold weather. A little fur- 
ther on you will find the 

POST OFFICE. 

This is a small, neat room. We found several letters there 
which we read with delight, as they were very amusing. We 
also wrote one and left it for the next vilitor. The 
Post Master was absent and we did not put the stamp upon 
it. You can pass through several more rooms from this and 
return to the roof. This Avas Gen. Anderson's signal station. 
This grand structure is of handsome brown stone. In one of 
these chambers Eliza was born. Here she protected her 
young protege ; here she would skip and play with her fawns ; 
here the war council was held and the pipe of war smoked ; 
here the victim was burnt, and dark spots can be easily dis- 
cerned in the rocks upon the high pinnacles where fire and 
blood mingled together while the savage yell made the 
air hideous with its demoniac screams, as the dying moan of 
the wretched martyr rose upon the breeze and was wafted to 
the spirit-shore, and there recorded upon the monumental 
tablet of pioneer braves. Here is alSo the wild song of the 

INDIAN MAID : 

Where amid the opening flowers 

The light-wiuged zepliyr strayed, 
Merry as the summer rill 

This little Indian played, 
Where the brightest flowers grew wild. 

Sweetly sang the Indian cliild. 

Now with rosy lips apart, 

The little Indian maiden stood, 
Listening as her silvery notes, 

Echoed through the wood. 
Silent now her soft black eye 

Wid'ning with a sweet surprise. 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 33 

Half in wonder, half in fear, 

'Twas no wood fairy child, 
In sweet mimicry of thine 

Kaug out those notes so wild, 
Merry laugh, or silvery tone, 

Echoed but thy very own. 

Often the gush of childish glee broke upon the stillness of 
the day and night. All of this had a tendency to purify the 
soul and lead it toward the brighter land of eternal happi- 
ness. The lesson of nature had its influence upon the gentle 
maid. She would often sit upon the edge of this tremendous 
cliif, with Brown by her side ; and they would wonder and 
converse of the great Spirit above them, and after Mrs. Bean 
and Mrs. Jennings were added to their number, they would 
listen to them with wonder and reverence as they imparted 
their knowledge of the beauties beyond the skies. All along 
this cliff there is something to attract and please the tourist 
in the trip. Now, kind reader, go with me to 

EOCK CITY. 

From this castle you can return the same as you came, and 
take the left hand road that leads you directly to it. First, 
you pass the Elephant, but some one who had a greater love 
for theft than reverence for nature's bounteous gift, stole his 
trunk and tail, thus depriving him of his natural appearance 
somewhat. Yet you can discover what he once was by his 
sides. Just wide enough for a carriage to go through is a 
large rock which we have named in honor of 

COL. A. L. HARRIS. 

This a large rock that stands not far from Chickamauga 
cliff. It is somewhat similar to a fat man. We name it in 
honor of our kind friend, the Master of Transportation and Su- 
pervisor of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, it is surroun- 
ded by laurel, as he is by friends. A little farther on is 

WRENN'S ROCK. 

We name this for the gentlemanly ticket agent of the same 
road. The idea was sjiggested to us by a little bird of that 
name, upon its head, while Mr. Linn was photographing the 
rock. A little farther on is 

WASHINGTON'S CABINET. 
This has many curious crevices and holes sufficient to store 
all of that distinguished man's papers in. A little further 
on, to the left, you arrive at the 
3 



34 ELIZA EOSS; OR, 

VIRGINIA STATE HOUSE. 

Though crumbled to nothing, Virginia's old State House shall shine' 
Eternal, immutable, glorious aud divine. 

This is a large rock with apparent fire-places in it. The 
shape somewhat resembles the unfortunate State House, 
in whose honor we name it, as well as inmemoriam of those 
who fell beneath its crushing weight. Opposite is 

GENS. R. E. LEE AND U. S. GRANT. 

The names, 
. As iu legions strauge and old, 

By some unseen and magic chord, 

Responsive to the touch of thought, 

Should start unbidden by a word. 

"We name these tall and graceful columns who rear their 
proud heads so high, in honor of the two greatest chieftains 
the world ever saw. They are monuments of nature's struc- 
ture ; so are the men, A more appropriate name could not 
be applied to them. The one opposite the State House is R. 
E. Lee, the one next to the tree is U. S. Grant, President of 
the United States. After naming them, one of the party 
became quite enthusiastic over it and determined to climb 
to the top, but that is no easy matter. After going some 
distance he obtained a plank ; he then ascended by climb- 
ing a tall tree and placing the plank on the fork of the 
tree and on one of the crags of Gen. Grant. He landed 
safely about half-way up, and by close application arrived 
at the top, where he became very eloquent and njade a long 
speecli, terribly patriotic. While he was getting upon Gen. Lee 
the wind blew down the bridge, and after delivering the con- 
secrating speech on this one, he went across to the other and 
found the platform down. His position was rather uncom- 
fortable, there being only ladies below. We could not reach 
him, the plank and he being nearly twenty feet up. We had 
to go some distance to find help. After much trouble we 
found " Ben," who readily relieved him. We had much 
fun at his expense. In front stands a very large rock that 
master Percy Barker, only four years, named the 

COURT HOUSE'. 

There is nothing very notable in this one, only its size. In 
Harper, we see that his author wrote by proxy, as neither il- 
lustrations nor descriptions are correct. (Our illustration failed 
to reach us in time for insertion here.) ,

You will proceed on to the right. You will soon come to im- 
mense numbers and great varieties. These are divided by 
streets, with gardens now rich in the profusion of variagated 
flowers, and watered by a babbling brook, while two large 
pillars stand apart from the rest ; these we name 

GENS. "TIGE" ANDERSON AND " FIGHTING" JOE HOOKER. 

There they stood confronting each other in gloomy silence. 
Each of these distinguished men held this post and we name 
them for two heroes of the field. The right is Anderson and 
the left Hooker, as we believe that is the position taken by 
those two men of fame. Then continue on and you will ar- 
rive at Chickamauga cliif and castle. We have now given 
you two routes to the cliff. You can go back by the last one 
if you come to the castle first. Now the object of our Heaven- 
ly Father in building this massive coliseum is known only to 
Him. We have never seen any thing grander, and we have 
stood by the Thebes and viewed the Pyramids with wonder. 
We have visited the Coliseum of Imperial Rome and the 
Leaning Tower of Pisca, but a grander sight than these won- 
derful structures could not be found. This is the Imperial 
city ; 'tis the spot where the heroic deeds of man did much 
to gain dominion over, and which ruin and decay will never 
do what man has failed to, for 'tis the city of all time and 
of all the world ; 'tis the sepulchre of all time, built by the 
Great Architect of the Universe whose masterly hand cannot 
be equaled. As you come out you will observe the suburbs 
of the city. Colossal columns rise in noble grandeur. A 

LEANING TOWER, 

of large dimensions, stands in the suburbs, as well as the 

president's HOUSE. 

This has the appearance of a large house with a shelter 
projecting out over the door. 

Around here Eliza played, and here they taught the Indians 
their first Bible lesson ; here also many yielded up their lives 
by the stake amidst the roar of flames, and the hellish yells 
of their earthly tormentors. And in latter days the boom, 
of the cannon echoed through the silent city, and once again 
these shelters contained mangled and dying men, but now all 
is quiet and rabbits and foxes are the only inhabitants of this 
grand old city. 

We who are creatures of a day talk of everlasting hills and 
mountains, but when we stsnd upon their stupendous heights,. 



86 ELIZA ROSS; OR, 

or when we go into their masses of rock, they tell us they too 
have basked in light for only a time ; that once the great wa- 
ters rolled over them and that they now hold the treasures 
of the deep locked up in their impenetrable caverns. These 
rocks recall to mind an eloquent exposition of the Apostle's 
remark ; that to see the towers that were raised by the pow- 
er of feudal princes and the abbys and cathedrals — that 
were the scenes of monastic devotion — now crumbling, and 
and falling away — their tottering walls curtained with ivy 
and the bird of night the only tenement of those forsaken 
abodes of stern despotism. We can only conclude the des- 
cription of this majestic Lookout by saying : 

Beautiful Lookout, favorite soug, 

What memory to thy cadeuce belong ; 
What sweet recollections cling to my heart 

As thy loved zephyrs recall joys as dear as thou art. 
Oh, poesy's home was that dreamland whose skies 

Were as soft as the lovelight that dwells in their eyes^ 
I have known many zephyrs, but the dearest to me 

Is beautiful Lookout for it breathes of Thee. 

Beautiful Lookout at dawn of day, 

The soft zephyrs are wafted in musical lay, 
And gently awake me from dreams where I heard, 

The soft dulcet strains of sweet caroling birds. 
All that's lovely on earth to none brighter belongs 

All that's dear to my heart round its memories throng. 
I have known many zephyr's, but dearest to me 

Is beautiful Lookout for it breathes of Thee. 

Now, kind reader, we have carried you over romantic 
scenes, frightful precipices, narrow ravines and tortuous wa- 
ters, into the clouds and out of them. Now let us invite your 
attention to the State of Georgia for a short time. Dear old 
State, A Phcenix without the fable. Atlanta! who can dis- 
pute your being that bird of fire ? Surely you have risen 
from the ashes of your former self, and are now clothed 
in a plumage gay and bright. Clouds of prosperity hover 
over your nest and light up the horizon above the fallen one 
of yore. The blood has fallen from your heart, but now the 
wound is healed and scarcely a scar is left to mark the fiery 
dart. Gigantic buildings raise themselves in proud defiance 
of the fallen ones. The capital bells resound, (auction bells 
not less). The song of the opera is often heard within the 
handsome walls of the Opera House, which grand and majes- 
tic building reminds us of the palaces of the old country. 
Hotels without number. The best of them is the National 
with its fine, large and airy rooms, handsomely furnished, with 



ILLUSTRATED GUIDE GF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. 37 

a fine restaurant. There is a very large hotel in prog- 
ress on the site of the old Atlanta Hotel. This is being built 
by that enterprising gentleman, H. I. Kimball, who has done 
more to help the PWnix to rise from the ashes than any one 
«lse, or, in fact, any dozen others. He has the good of the 
State at heart ; he has come with his wealth to assist us to 
rise. He is now engaged in getting ready the Fair Grounds 
for the Georgia State Fair, to be held this fall in Atlanta. 
The grounds will be characterized with every convenience for 
exhibitors. We heartily recommend all of our friends of both 
sexes to help to fill the extensive halls and stalls. We would 
here say to our friends of Kentucky, and elsewhere, that 
this is the time and place for them to show and sell their 
stock of all kinds. A half-mile track is upon the grounds. 
Speed will be contested, (see the advertisement,) and the fi- 
nest prizes are offered, and we hope that all who have any- 
thing that will add interest to the enterprise will contribute 
toward bringing this great project before the public. Think- 
ing men and women will see the usefulness of this scheme. 
There is no place where reconstruction is made plain like 
the Fairs. The old mode of labor being demoralized, a 
new one must be organized, and no place can it be done like 
on the Fair Grounds. Neither bigotry nor hatred should keep 
any from this spacious enclosure. This will do more to re-or- 
ganize the country than all the Congressional halls and re- 
construction committees in the United States. Friends, try 
it and see. You all have the best facilities for transporta- 
tion of any people in the world. (Read the Railroad guide

To My Readers: 

In presenting this little volume to you, I trust that 
each will be mutually benefitted by it. I have endeavored 
to write it in an amusing manner, but useful also, both to 
reader and patron. All are sound, substantial facts, save 
Jonathan, who represents the character of many of the pres- 
ent day, who become suddenly rich and distinguish themselves 
by just such feats as he does, only in benevolence, which is 
the last thing thought of. You will find the people spoken 
of just where and just what I represent them to be. Read 
it all through and you will find something to your advantage, 
and will enjoy a hearty laugh.

THE ADVENTURES 



JONATHAN BRADLY 



JONATHAN BRADLY 

Visits G-eorge Sharp, Jr., Jeiveler to the G-eorgia State 
Agricultural Society, Atlanta, Ga, the handsomest store 
and best stocked in the State, arid buys some diamonds to 
attend the Fair. 

Jonathan Bradlj was born in Indiana, in obscurity, and 
raised until he was twenty-three years ohl in the same. His 
father being a small farmer, he had few advantages. But 
he had good mother-sense. His neighbors used to say he 
had "good horse-sense." His judgment was often called 
into requisition in matters of agriculture and stock-raising. 
Few people had the extraordinary gift that he had, and his 
views, cither for or against, Avas law. One day !Mr. Wm. 
Baldwin, of Maysville, Ky., was offering a pair of fine horses 
for sale, to a well-to-do farmer, three miles from the home of 
Jonathan, and was profuse in his praise of his fine team. 
"Now Squire," said the farmer, "I will tell ycu what, if 
Jonathan Bradly says the same of them, that you do, why, 
I guess I'll buy em." " Who the duce is Jonathan Bradly ?" 
queries! Mr. B. " Why Squire, you see, we would'nt buy 
a hoss in this 'ere neighborhood without he'd spend his judg- 
ment on the critter fust," answered the farmer. "Where is 
that knowledge box?" asked Mr. B., sharply. "Wall, 
Squire, he lives about three miles off; but I gess you would'nt 
like tew see hiin, from the way you speak," " Certainly I 
should,^' said Mr. B. ; "jump in and let us ride to his farm." 

"Now, Squire, that 'ere talk sutes me, only, the whole 
neighborhood would be down on me if I'd buy them critters, 
which are concarned puty, without he seed 'em fust." "I 
am glad to know you have a man who is such a good judge 
of stock." " He can't be beat. Squire," " Then the horses 
are sold," said Mr. B., feeling doubtful of Jonathan's judg-

merit. When they arrived, Jonathan was just hitching up 
" Sal," his favorite mule, to go to the field, but seeing the 
fine team dashing up, he stopped and saluted Farmer Dayton, 
as follows : " I guess you are gitting grand with that fine 
team — why I'll be concarned if that aint the spankingest 
pair of bosses I ever seed. Hallo, stranger, did'nt see you, 
for lookin' at that pesky putty boss flesh." " IIow do you 
like them," asked Mr. B., with a laugh. "Why, stranger, 
I'd jist like tew own 'em, that is how. Whare did you come 
from?" "Kentucky." "I knowed it by the cut of your 
jib." "Jonathan," said the farmer, "I want your 'pinion 
on these beast. I want it rite out." "Wall, neighbor, all 
I got tew say is, that they beat Bobtail, clean, smack and 
smooth to the end." This was his decided declaration in all 
matters that found favor in his eyes. Farmer Dayton re- 
solved to purchase the team at the round sum of ^700, which 
raised Jonathan greatly in the estimation of Mr. B., who, 
with true Kentucky hospitality, invited Jonathan to his beau- 
tiful home, to view all of his fine stock. Sorne years after 
this occurrance, he was in the field following in the footsteps 
of "Sal," and his thoughts were of the better situation of 
Farmer Dayton, who had acquired considerable wealth, and 
of his daughter, who was a buxsom lass of sixteen, and who 
could make as good butter and cheese, and weave as many 
yards of cloth as any body's daughter in the hamlet. They 
had long had an eye to each other, but Jonathan was poor, 
and notwithstanding his good, sound sense, the farmer could 
not give Peggy to him ; and, in fact, she, herself, rather 
stood off, much to his discomfiture. While his brain was 
occupied with these thoughts a stranger approached him, and 
politely raised his hat. "A word with you, sir," said the 
stranger, who was no other than Gen. J. C. Brown, an emi- 
nent lawyer, from Pulaski, Tenn. "Whoa Sal, han't you 
got a darned bit of manners — don't you see the gentleman, 
you blind fool." " Can you tell me, sir, where I can find a 
gentleman by the name of Jonathan Bradly ?" " Wl;oa Sal ; 
that is me, by jing." " Oh, you are the gentleman I have 
business with." " Wall, out with it, stranger, for I am in a 
tarnal bad row for stumps, and want tew get out afore the 
sun roasts me out." " Very well, sir, you are the son of 
Jeremiah Bradly." " So dad says." " Well, that is all the 
law requires." " The law — I'd like tew know what the law

has tew do with my bein' Jeremiah and Jemima Bradly's son." 
"A great deal, mj friend. You had an uncle by the name 
of Nicademus Bradly, who lived at Hoplcinsville, Ky., and 
had a farm in Tennessee." "Wall, now, stranger, I never 
seed that fellow, but I've hern dad tell about him, and I gess 
he was my uncle, for he was dad's oldest brother." " He is 
dead." "Oh, dear, dear, is he dead?" "Whoa, Sal, you 
blamed fool," "Yes, he is no more." " Wall, Mister, I 
gess if I stand in this row all day, I won't bring him tew 
life, so get up, Sal." "Wait a moment. You make a neat 
furrow — whose plow is that?" "Mine." "I mean, whose 
make is it?" "You see, Mister, it is called alliance dou- 
ble SHOVEL PLOW. It excels any in the market, and is as 
necessary tew the farmer as a gal's false hair is tew a party. 
Dad sent uncle Nick one, and he liked it muchly. He also 
sent him wattle's patent sulky cultivator. 

Uncle Dick writ that he used it fur marking out corn 
and cotton ground, also, fur kivering it up when planted." 
With the fifth shovel attached it makes a complete cultivator 
to be used in stirring up fall plowing and putting in small 
grain. It is easily changed from a corn to a cotton cultiva- 
tor, by substituting the sweeps and scrapers in place of shov- 
els. " Yes, we have many of them in our midst. I think 
them indispensable to the farmer. We have a large house in 
Chattanooga of all kinds of agricultm-al machiney." "Dew 
tell, and who keeps it." "George S. Ruble." "He must 
be a smart man." "He is. Your uncle was a good thrifty 
farmer and knew how to make his farm pay." "Yes, a man 
can't do much without machinery on his farm, and a plenty 
of good manure spred in the fall and winter." "Why do you 
prefer the fall and Avinter to the spring?" "Case, yer see, 
mister, that the snow and rain beat in all the virtue to the 
ground, and in the spring when we plough, we mix it all up 
and lose none, but if it remains in the stable yard, it loses 
half of its strength." " Oh, yes, I had not thought of that." 
"Well, that ain't all. You see a man has more time 
in the fall and winter than in the spring, so he saves .two 
things, time and manure." " Ah, I see how it is." " I guess 
you ain't a farmer?" "No, but I take great interest in 
the farmers, for they are the bone and sinew of the country. 
If they fail, all else necessarily must." " Yes, but most of 
the folks don't agree with you." " All I have to say, sir, is

that if all our Southern farmers would purchase cultivators, 
improved plows, and G. S. Ruble's implements generally, we 
would soon be the wealthiest people in the land, for we have 
the soil and the climate." " I here 'em say you have got it, 
and lots of emergrants is goin' thar, ain't they?" '"Yes, 
some, but we wish far more, our climate is genial, land abun- 
dant, minerals without end, of all kinds." "But you don't 
like us fellows down thar ?" " You are greatly mistaken ; we 
do like all who come to make their homes with us. We will 
welcome all such to our unhappy land. But, sir, we do not 
like those who would attempt to govern us, whether agreea- 
ble or not. We are a law-abiding people, willing to submit 
to our fate, provided we govern ourselves, which we are ca- 
pable of doing." " I gess you are." " I have detained you 
too long, I will to business. Your uncle is dead." "' So you 
told me." " I did not finish." " Well, go on, tell it all." 
" He was rich." " Is that so ?" said Jontohan greatly exci- 
ted. " Yes, and has left you his fortune," "Good gra- 
cious ! how much was the old coon worth ?" " One hundred 
and fifty thousand dollars." "Oh, golly, aint that slick?" 
and he jumped and pranced like a colt and hugged the Gen- 
eral. "Look here, old fel, when I git down in Tennessee I 
mean to run you for Govinor, throw old parson Brownlow 
higher'n and a kite, and lick any feller that don't vote for 
you." " I thank you for your kindness, but I fear your task 
is Herculean. I do not aspire to that position." "I say 
that you shall, and Jonathan Bradley never goes back on his 
word, no siree." " You seem inclined to have your own way 
in the matter." " I jist do, and I'll do it sartin." He seiz- 
ed and shook furiously the hand of the General. He danced 
for joy, left Sal in the "lead-row for stumps," and started 
for home, at lightning speed, to tell his good fortune. In 
his haste, he lost his hat, and forgoc to make the necessary 
inquiries. But the General followed, exhibitel the will, and 
offered his advice as soon as it was practicable to do so. 

After Jonathan had told his astonished parents of his ex- 
tremely good luck, and the scene had passed, the General 
called, an<l commenced to explain the proper mode for him 
to follow, to obtain a position in good society. " Wall, what 
shall I do ? I will do jist as you want me tew." " Oh, I 
will only suggest, and you can act upon the suggestion if 
you think proper." "I'll dew it, sartin." "Well, sir, it

will be necessary for you to go to school and receive an edu- 
cation ; that will enable you to appear well in your new posi- 
tion in society. You know that learning is the most im- 
portant of all tilings on earth. It fits a person for usefulness 
here and eternal happiness after the lamp of life has flickered 
out. If a man does nothing but eat, drink and sleep his life 
away, he had better be left in the field, where I found you. 
Now, that you have the means to improve yourself, you 
should do so." "That I will." "I do not doubt it." 
" What would you recommend forme?" " Why, the Uni- 
versity or Tennessee." "Tell us all about it." "With 
pleasure. This school is to be open the first Monday in 
September, under the Supervision of its old President, Gen. 
B. R. Johnson and Gen. E. Kerby Smith. General John- 
son was a great favorite before the war, and this was a most 
flourishing school ; the situation is delightful. It stands 
upon the top of the hill, in South Nashville, and has a broad 
lawn in front, studded with fine old trees. Its location is 
admirable, and the names of these eminent gentlemen will be 
sufficient to resurrect it from its long sleep. The buildings 
have been repaired and newly furnished. The comforts 
of a home will be found there, and the head thoroughly in- 
structed in all the branches that it can contain. On the 
same site is the Medical University, under the direction 
of Dr. J B. Lindsley, who has a well established fame for 
profound learning and science. This College is familiarly 
known all over the country, and many of its graduates oc- 
cupy enviable positions among the distinguished of the profes- 
sion. Any young man wishing to become a son of Esca- 
lapius, can be an accomplished one under the instruction 
of Dr. Lindsley and his learned professors. A young man 
must make his mark in life if he wishes his name to remain 
to posterity." "Yes, Mister, that's so, and I'll dew it sar- 
tin." " We will have a number of Fairs this fall, and shall 
be most happy to see you at them. You should see some- 
thing of the world before you settle. Books and travel fit a 
man for any position in life." During the conversation the old 
folks swallowed every word, and felt how true it was. The 
General bade them good-day, and Jonathan returned to the 
field. lie found "Sal" standing as he left her. " I'll be 
concarned if this aint treatin' you rite bad, old gal ; but, 
never mind, I am rich now, and won't follow in your foot-

steps no longer." He drove her to the shade and sat down 
by her, and soliloquized "thuslj" : " Here I am, Jonathan 
Bradlj, son of Jeremiah and Jemima Bradly, and niece — no 
not niece, but nephew of old Nick Bradly, who has had the 
good common sense tew die and make me his heir tew the tune 
of a hundred and fifty thousand. I gess I'm some pumkins. 
Peggy Dayton will w'^sh she had'nt been so ready tew be 
winkin' at Jim Lethers, because he got six hundred dollars. 
I gess all the gals will wish they'd treted me better. But 
I'll pay 'em ofi" sartin. I'll court every one of 'em, and not 
one will I marry. I'll go and see the world." Just at this 
moment, a piece of paper flitted before him. He took it up, 
and after much spelling, read : "A man in pursuit of knowl- 
edge under difficulty." "I gess that fellow's me, no, not 
me, but like me." He read on, and learned the man was some- 
what like him in his former circumstances, and that he ob- 
tained information without having the hundred and fifty thou- 
sand it was his good fortune to possess. " I'll go and see 
Peggy, and tell her I'm goin' off, get married, and live in 
grand style. That'll rile her dander." Off he went to see his 
darling Peggy, with his mind full of fine fancies and grand 
sayings. " How do you do?" he asked. " I am well," she 
answered. "I'm tarnal glad you are." "So am I," she 
responded, with a coquetish toss of her head. " Jonathan, 
what on arth has brought you out of the field at this time 
of day ?" " Why, you see, Peggy, I'm goin' off." " Going 
off ! You had better stay to hum and tend your crap, I guess. 
Where are you going to, and what are you going after, and 
how long will you stay, and what will the old man do when 
you are gone, and who will feed Sal and make the crap ? 
Jonathan, take my advice and stay to hum, and not be tramp- 
ing all over the world, spending your money, if you have 
got any, which I guess you haint." " I gess you don't 
know nothing. Miss Peg," said he, with a good deal of dig- 
nity, that he did not know exactly how to manage. " What 
on arth has come over you, I'd like to know ? I believe you 
have gone crazy.^' " I gess not, Peggy. Peggy are you 
courted?" "Well, now, I don't know exactly. Sorter and 
sorter not, more sorter than sorter not." Upon which she 
gave a great laugh, and continued. " I do believe the fool has 
come a courting in the day time." Jonathan listened to 
these remarks without emotion, and had a sly twinkle in his

eye, as he said: "Yes, Peg, I'm goin' to Hopkinsville, Ky., 
and tew Tennessee. I got a big cotton-farm in Tennessee, 
and a big tobacco one near Hopkinsville, and a big store in 
Atlanta, Ga. 

" Now, Jonathan, I know you are stark mad, tew say that, 
why yer must be dreamin'." "No, Miss, I aint dreamin, I 
have got it for sartin, and that aint half nuther,"said he, as- 
suming an air of importance, while Peggy viewed him with 
hands akimbo, in breathless surprise. Had she known of the 
Lunatic Asylum at Hopkinsville she would have thought that 
was the farm he alluded to. "Well, Jonathan, I do believe 
you have been bit by a mad dog." " No, I haint," and see- 
ing Peggy did not intend to allow him to court her, he de- 
termined not to tell his fortune. Like a wise man he resol- 
ved to be loved only for himself, with Peggy at least. After 
partaking of a good dinner he bid farmer Dayton good-by, 
telling him that " he should leave these diggins to see his 
new ones." The surprise of the farmer was equal to that of 
his daughter, and the rest who crowded around him, " I do 
believe that Jonathan has got the fever," said the farmer's 
wife, "his hand was awful hot." " I gess that's it," said 
Peggy." We leave them and return to Jonathan's home, 
where his mother and sisters were busy getting him ready to 
accompany the General next day. A man was hired to take 
his place on the farm, and care for Sal, which he greatly loved. 
We see him leave home for the first time. " We must visit 
Mr. Mock Levy," said the General. " Who's he ?" " He is 
President of the Jeffersonville Race Horse Company. The 
company has many fine horses, and I wish to invite him to 
attend our Southern Fairs this fall. We have fine fair 
grounds and wish all who have fine stock to be present. 
Great inducements are offered to those who have stock, ag- 
ricultural implements, machinery and hardware. By the 
way, we must go to St. Louis and invite the Excelsior firm 
to show its excelsior wares on all our grounds ; also, Mr. 
Buck. We want to see his"Brilliant Stove,"and the"Charter 
Oak" take a race. Bat we believe Lithgow's, of Louisville, 
will beat both ; and we challenge them to the contest." "A 
stove race, why, I never hearn tell of such a race. I'd like 
tew know how it's done." "I will explain. Three houses are 
built called Pagodas. They are octagon, just large enough 
to hold a stove, table and one man, have a round cupola, fan-

cilj painted, and open all around. The room over is the 
the store-room where the material is kept for baking. Each 
one bakes his best. A great accommodation to restaurateurs 
as they get their meats and bread fresh baked. Some one is 
on hand to point out the beauties of the stove." "Why that's 
a good thing." " Then you have exactly the opportunity to 
show what it will do, and every lady sees it. You see the 
fancy paintings of an elephant, for instance, Avith a red hot 
stove on his back, will draw attention to it," "Sartinly it 
will." " Well, we wish also to invite the proprietor of the 
Crescent Sugar Refinery, of New Orleans, to show his pro- 
duce with us. This is the largest refinery in the United States. 
I regret I have not time to describe it, but will at some fu- 
ture day. That is the place to exhibit his goods, as we are 
fond of sweets and know his to be choice. Messrs. George 
Dunbar & Sons must also come. They have the cleanest 
and best of cordials and Southern preserved fruits of every 
variety. Our land abounds in figs, but we do not know how 
to preserve and keep them fresh and delicious. They do. 
We wish Messrs. Tyler & Griswold to be present with sam- 
ples of their wares. A jeweler, in Atlanta, Mr. Geo. Sharp, 
who will compete with them. The best and finest display 
will take the premium of ^100, and we wish to get up com- 
petition." "Yes, siree, that's the life of the thing." 
"Right,sir." Invitaion is extended to Messrs. Rice & Broth- 
erSjOf Camp street, N. 0., to show their copper-ware. Also, in- 
vite Zable & Dalton." "What ar they ?" " Japan and tin- 
ware manufacturers." " Why do you ax them, that makes 
only — " "Oh, we wish to encourage all industries. We wish 
farmers and merchants to see what can be done in the land of 
rice and cotton. We have a pride to see our Agricultural 
department fairly compete with the Northern implements and 
wares. We have and will show the world we possess the no- 
blest qualities of mankind, and now offer a fair competition 
with our northern friends." "But you aint axin none of 
them." " You mistake, Bodley & Lane, of Cincinnati, are 
most cordially invited, and all others, who chance to read 
this, and those who have nothing to exhibit as well. We will 
show them the hospitality of Southern hearts with a warm 
welcome, and render their stay as pleasant as possible." "I 
gess some of era will dew it." " I trust so. Mr. H. I. Kim- 
ball is an enterprising man and will spare neither labor

nor money to make all comfortable. He has the lar- 
gest and finest hotel in process of erection, south or west. 
Close by is the National, second to it only in size." 

I invite S. L. James & Co., of Baton Rouge." " Whar's 
that ?" " In Louisiana." " What dose they do ?" " They 
make Refrigerators, and that is one thing we want ; and by 
the way, the Ice Manufacturing Company, of New Orleans, 
might send along a sample of their ice in one. We wish our 
friends to see ice made hj steam." "Now, dew tell, ice 
made by steam! Wall, now, that beats Bobtail." "Yes, 
and it is very fine and firm, we saw a piece weighing 1,700 
pounds on the Fair Grounds, of New Orleans." " Wall, now, 
that clean beats anything I ever seed." " Mr. J. E. Carvin 
k Co., we wish your display, and Mr. J. B. Knight, Izard 
& Carvin, Shakspeare Foundry, Reynold's Iron Works, Vib- 
bard & Co., and C. G. Johnston, H. T. Bartlett, John T. 
Wallace & Co., AV. P. Smith." " Look here. General, that's 
a darned common name." "The name is common, buc not 
so the invention. Everything is not common because the name 
of the manufacturer chances to be, or that no good dwells be- 
neath a homely exterior and ragged jacket." "That's sj, hose- 
fly, what has he got?" "A Centrifugal Earth Drill." 
"What on arth is that?" "Why, to drill wells, and we 
shall be sadly disappointed if he does not come. He will 
have a good chance to display it on the Grounds. Herbert, 
& Emery can make a good display." "Of what?" "All 
the above men are engaged in machinery, and we wish every 
one to come. Jno. W. Norris, Bostic & Seymore, Slowcomb 
& Bawldwin, not omitting Daniel and James D. Edwards, or 
Mr. Duelly, Colemon, Daniel Pratt & Brooks sliould be there; 
and J. B. Jennings must be on hand. As ^e are fond of 
a nice ride, we invite Joseph Schartz, Marsh and Denman, 
C. M. Saria and R. Blcakley, Carriage Dealers. We want 
present Mr. Fred. James Knapp, with his Ramie Plants, for 
they are destined to take the place of cotton, and the man 
who owns the machine for breaking it. Her Masjesty has 
offered <£5,000 to the man who can produce the macliine. 
Competition in shoes is needed, and «ve invite Messrs. 
Glynn & Wintz. F. J. Qiunlan & Co., Hatters, defy 
competition ; and we want to see J. M. Holbrook, of 
No. 40 Whitehall St., Atlanta, Ga., measure arms with com- 
petitors." "Who dew you say is at Atlanta?" "J. M.

Holbrook." " I'll go and see him, sartin, when I get thar." 
" That's right, he well deserves patronage, he is an old citi- 
zen and a great favorite," "Them fellows are the ones to 
visit." " Certainly, Mr. Bradlj, you have the exact appre- 
ciation of men and things. He keeps just what you and 
everybody else will want — a new hat — for the Fair." " Don't 
mister me, call me Jonathan, mister will do for you, not me." 
" Very well, but let us continue on our way to Louisville." 
"Where will you stop at— WILLARD'S HOTEL? That 
is one of the best hotels on the American Continent." 
" "Whare is that tavern ?" " It is on the corner of Jefferson 
and Center Sts., opposite the handsome court-house." "Who 
keeps it ? I never was in one but once, and that was Bill 
Stubbs', afore the 'lection, when Tom Jones was runin' for 
ofBce; he stood treat." "Messrs. Whips, Willard & Co., 
princes of hotel keepers." "Now, General — that's what you 
say you are, haint it?" "Yes, Gen. J. C. Brown." "That 
is the place tew go, for I does want to see a live prince." The 
Geneval could not forbear to smile at the verdancy of his 
frien(l\ who so readily entered into his suggestions. They 
arrived^ and were duly installed in their clean, handsome 
room, tdiich Jonathan thought "beat Bill Stubbs' all tew 
smash." The General wrote invitations to the following 
gentlemen, to exhibit their fine stock at the fairs : Mr. Al-

Pender, of Owensboro', Ky. We will not object to the 
Rev. Mr. Coleman being judge. " Look here, Gen'l, you 
are getting hot. I gess you will be hotter when you are Gov- 
inor. "No doubt, should it be my fortune to hold that high 
office, I will find it rather warm on a freezing day." " Wall 
now, I gess you will. I hear 'em say it is a tarnal bad place 
tew be in." " But we will take the L. & N. R. R. train and 
proceed on to Elizabethtown. I wish to see Horace English 
and Mr. Bethel about bringing their fast horses to Georgia." 
" Have they got fine bosses ?" " Yes, Mr. Bethel has a very 
fast trotter which he took a great many prizes upon." 
'' Where will you stop ?" "At the Hill House." "Who 
keeps it?" " Mrs. R. D. Hill. She is called aunt Becca 
by all who know her. She is one of the kindest, dearest, old 
ladies in the world, and has the cleanest and most comforta- 
ble house in the country, and everything good to eat, in the 
real old-fashioned style. It is a most delightful summer re- 
sort." "Wall, we'll go there." After spending the night 
and testing aunt Becca's coffee, fried chickens and other sub- 
stantials, Avith which the tables abound, they paid their bills 
and took their seats upon the L. & N. R. R. for Nashville. 





Tho General said "we will remain over until the evening 
train. I wish to present you to General B. R. Johnson, the 
President of the Military University that you will attend, if 
you like." " Where will we find him." "At his office over 
the Fourth National Bank, Union street." "Wall, let us 
be oif, I wan't to see my teacher that is to be." On arriving 
they found the General seated at the table, by his side a fine 
specimen of manhood with silver locks, who greeted General 
Brown with the cordiality of an old friend. This is Col. G. 
P. Smith, who is Johnson's partner in the Real Estate Bu- 
siness. Jonathan is presented to Gen. Johnson, wliose face 
is radiant with good nature. "How dew you dew Mr. John- 
sing," said he, extending his hand, which the General took, 
greatly amused at the verdancy of his future pupil. "Gen.

Brown tells ine I'd better go tew schule, and I gess he's 
right ; he says that you are a tarnal good fellow to beat 
sense into a dumhead." "As to that, sir, I cannot say ; but 
if one can learn at all, I think we can teach him to his satis- 
faction and that of his friends." " That is talk enough ; I'll 
cum arter the Fairs which I am bound tew go tew. I want 
tew buy a fine boss tew show. Mr. Miles, in Jefferson co., 
Ky., had one that I wanted most prodigiously." " What was 
his name?" " Refugee." " Oh, yes, he is the finest horse 
in the United States. But you had better not get a horse 
until after you finish school, as it Avill take your mind from 
your studies, and while at them nothing else should occupy 
your thoughts. "Wall, now, I'd like tew dew that, but I must 
have a boss, and I will lend him tew the General here tew 
lecshionere on." "Why I was not aware that the General 
had any electioneering to do." "Yes, siree, I am gwine to 
run him for office." " What office do you design for our 
friend ?" " Nothin less than Govinor will dew him." A 
smile passed over the face of them as Gen. Johnson re- 
plied, " I should be happy to see my friend in that office, as 
I know he will fill it with honor." " So dew I. Now, I'd 
like to see that ere school house." " Certainly, sir, I will 
conduct you with the greatest pleasure." They took the col- 
lege hill cars and started for the beautiful grounds. On 
their arrival they were met by Dr. J. B. Lindsley, Professor 
of the Medical College, and Jonathan was so pleased with 
that gentleman that he resolved to attend himself, saying 
"he always wanted tew be a doctor, but as he had to learn 
so much before he could go himself he'd send a young man 
who had good larnin, but no money. He used to steal half 
of his mamma's doe tew make pills and stick em down the 
gals throats aplayin doctor." " I should be happy to receive 
your friend and make him a true son of Esculapius." "Whew ! 
who in thunder is that ?" said our astonished Jonathan. 
"He was the best physician of antiquity." "And what State 
is that town in ? I've never hearn tell of that old fellow, or 
his town." Upon this they all burst into a general laugh 
and told Jonathan that when he left school he would under- 
stand all of those things perfectly. " Wall, I always know'd 
I was a fool but I gess I'll make Peggy's eyes snap 
with my book larnin yet." "We have no doubt but you 
will;" and they settled the tei-ms of his friend's tuition.

" Mr. Dr., as soon as that fellow lias done with this ere 
doctor scliule I will set him up in a doctor's shop." "You 
arc certainly kind in that and it will aftbrd you great happi- 
ness, for there is no pleasure so great as having done a good 
deed. I will recommend a place for you to purchase your 
drugs," said Mr. Lindsley, "Messrs. Pemberton, Taylor, 
& Co," " Wall, mister, tell us who Messrs. Pemberton, 
Taylor & Co. are?" "They have a very large Whole- 
sale Drug House in Atlanta, Ga. You will find eve- 
rything that a druggist will need in their grand establish- 
ment, and as cheap as can be bought in any Northern city. 
You will find them the most pleasant and aff"able gentlemen 
you ever met. There you can refresh yourself with the 

sparkling soda from their 
Arctic Fountain." "That 
is the coon for me to tree. 
I'll go for him sartin." "So 
you must, and send all 
your acquaintances." "I'll 
dew it." They made their 
way to Chuich St. Here 
they saw a sign of wire 
that took the eye of Jona- 
than. " Look here, Gen'l, 
what kind of a show is in 
here." "Show ! I see none, 
where do you mean?" 
" Why, there, don't you 
see," pointing to the sign 
which swings gracefully

work. They are very polite, offer to show him the mysteries 
of the little table, which puzzle him as much as the magic 
lamp of Aladin. "Whew ! I never did, did you ? Why, that 
beats Russel's Thrasher all tew smash. Dad's got one of 
them and they are tarnal good, can't be beat." Mr. Carpen- 
ter, who is a very gentlemanly person, steps forward and ex- 
plains that the Singer Machine cannot be beat, and the lady 
shows him how pretty it works, and he thinks that Russel's 
Thrasher and that Machine can be justly said to be the best 
in use. "This will do nearly everything that can be done 
by hand." " You don't say so ?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I 
gess I will buy one tew send to my sister." "That is right. 
You are not a married man then ?" "No, siree, I gess I 
aint," said he, cutting his eye at the handsome operator by 
side. " Can you send this, mister ?" " Certainly." 

"They left for Chattanooga Depot ; here they met Eugene 
Smith, the gentlemanly Ticket Agent, who took them up to 
see E. W. Cole, the President of that road, and Mr. Thomas, 
the Superintendent, also Mr. Flippin, the Book-keeper. 
Jonathan looked around with surprise, to see what order every- 
thing Avas in, and how much at ease these gentlemen were 
in their respective offices." "Look here. Mister, is this 
the way you run this machine ? I'll be concarned if one of 
you are sweatin' a tarnal bit this hot day, and the train is 
pleggy nigh of." "This is the way the officers manage the 
road, and I am happy to state, we have very efficient men 
in these important offices," said Gen. Brown. "Wall, they 
dew it as easily as courtin' a gal, and a plegged site easier 
than I courted Peg." After some few enquiries about ship- 
ing his horse and the satisfactory replies, they left the offices, 
and took their seats in the comfortable car for Murfreesboro. 
On arriving at Murfreesboro, Gen. Brown conducted Jona- 
than to the Stone River Utility Works ; here he found 
Major D. H. C. Spence, Superintendent. He greeted the 
General with great cordiality. Jonathan took lively interest 
in everything that was projjosed to him." " Mister, I guess 
you've got a hig facto?' i/, and I want to see it." " With pleas- 
ure," said the polite Superintendent. " Come this way." 
Jonathan and his companion followed into a large shop where 
they were making Red Cedar Ware, bound in bras>'., that 
glittered like gold. Examining them he concluded to purchase

a cliurn as gift to Peggy. Mr. Spenca 
remarked : " We are ■vN'illing to guaran- 
tee ours superior in Jinish, onaterial, 
toorkmcmship and findings to any made 
elsewhere, and we expect to produce and 
sell large quantities. We have the- 
largest Red Cedar Factory in the world."' 
" Whar dew you sell most of your 
wares?" "From Noav York to New 
Orleans, and it has been uniformly 
I conceded to excel all otherr; ever viade, 
I and we mean to keep the standard up. 
w Every piece toarranted." The amount 
lofour sales for twelve months is $81!;- 
ioOO GO ; the Plaining Mill department, 
island we have a large one, has been 
),452 81 ; net profits for six months from January 1st, to 
July 1st, $6,901 74, or at the rate of 38 per cent, per annum, 
for three years," 

They took the N. & C. R. R. for Chattanooga. When 
they neared the long tunnel, before they reached Stevenson, 
Gen. B. took Jonathan out upon the platform of the last 
car, that he might see the grandeur of that piece of workman- 
ship. The tunnel is under the Cumberland Mountain, and 
one of the grandest sights in the w-orld, is to view the depart- 
ing rays of the king of day, in all of his regal splemlor, from 
the mouth of the tunnel. Few witness this rich treat as a 
cold fear steals over them as they approach the huge struc- 
ture of earth and art. They do not appreciate them as they 
should. At Stevenson they took the Memphis and 
Charleston cars, laden with a merry party just returning 
from Bailey's Springs," "Hallo, General, whar did all 
these fellows and gals cum from?" "Bailey's Springs." 
"Whar is that?" "They are in Lauderdale county, Ala,, 
six miles from Florence, a delightful resort in the summer, and 
the best ivater in the ivorlcV " I guess they have lots of folks 
thar." "Yes, a great many. Oh, I sec a friend from 
luka Springs. I will speak to him." " Whar is that place." 
It is in Mississippi, and on the M. & C. R. R." " What 
kind of water is there?" "Sulphur." "I guess I'd not 
like that." " Many do, and find it fine." Jonathan was 
struck with the sublime scenery that borders that road, on

either side huge mountains raise their hoary heads, while 
broad valleys waving in corn, cotton and shiefs of golden 
wheat glistened in the sun. He exclaimed : " Why, this 
beats everything I ever seed." 

The Rolling Water, iron R. R. bridge, built by Grant Wil- 
kins, is one of the strongest structures in the United States. 
" You see what an immense amount of coal w^e have." "I'll 
be SAvitched if I knoed Tennessee had all them things." 
" Not only Tennessee, but all of these States." "Hallo, 
General, what concarned big mountain is this ?" " Lookout." 
" And here is the cave and blowing spring." " Jewhiliky, 
that is the bigest hole I ever seed, and the highest mountain." 
By this time they came into Chattannooga, took rooms at 
Mrs. Lodar's private boarding-house. [Mr. Stanton has not 
completed Lookout House, one of the finest in the South.] 
" We will call upon that gentlemen. He has imported a 
great number of ' Coolies' to build his new road." " Whare 
did he get 'em from?" "China." " I want tew see them 
fellows." " Very well." The next day they called on Mr. 
Stanton, and were introduced to Major Carlyle, Mr. Weaver, 
the Superintendent, and Mr. Sevier, the Treasurer. Gene- 
ral Brown then informed them that Jonathan wished to know 
something of railroads and the country. 



m<&iW»^ 




The Alabama and Chattannooga Railroad runs from Chat- 
tanooga to Meridian, Mississippi ; length 300 miles ; it is 
part of the Great Southern Mail Route, from New York to 
New Orleans, and when constructed it will decrease the dis- 
tance between these points about 100 miles. At Chattanooga 
it connects with the Nashville and Chattanooga, Memphis 
and Charleston, East Tennessee and Georgia, Western and 
Atlantic, and with the proposed Cincinati and Chattanooga 
Railroads ; at Gadsden it connects with the East Alabama 
and Cincinnati, opening up the country in the direction of 
Opelika, Alabama; at Elyton it connects with tlie South and 
North Alabama Railroad, connecting with Montgomery and 
Mobile by a direct line ; at Eufaula it connects with the 
Selma, Marion and Memphis Railroad, receiving therefrom.

the products of the richest cotton country in the South. At 
Meridian, it connects with the Mobile and Ohio, the Vicks- 
burg and Meridian and the Selma and Meridian Railroads. 
The general course is a direct line from northeast to south- 
west; and at Ely ton it runs through the most beautiful val- 
leys in the South, bounded on either side by the Lookout 
and Sand ranges of mountains, which are teeming with the 
finest coal and iron fields in the world. Sulphur and Cha- 
lybeate springs are frequently found in the immediate neigh- 
borhood of the road. 

Jonathan and Gen. Brown go over the Alabama and Chat- 
tanooga Railroad. As they went round the foot of "old Look- 
out," the General told Jonathan the story of Old Holman, 
who lived alone upon the mountain in years gone by. When 
Gen. Harrison was running for the Presidency, Mr. Long 
and some other young men got Old Holman to collect an im- 
mense pile of pine knots on the Point for a large bonfine. 
Soon after dark — and it was dark, for neither moon nor stars 
shone in the firmament — there sat the old man, who was 
nick-named "Daniel Boon" ["Look here, I should think 
Robbinsou Crusoe would of been a darned sight nearer his 
name," said Jonathan, wit^i a knowing wink] with his torch 
ready to light, when the signal was given from Cameron 
Hill. The moment the old hermit was signaled, he fired his 
pile, and the flames lit up the very heavens. On the Wills 
Valley side a lot of Avagoners was camped. Not knowing of Old 
Holman's residence upon the mountain, and having heard of 
volcanoes spitting fire, they concluded that such was the case, 
and they pulled up stakes and left hastily, thinking that 
they were soon to be buried in the dust and ashes of an erup- 
tion. You can see the dark spots now upon the rock. 

" When we "O to the Fair at Atlanta, I must see Pember- 
ton, Taylor & Co., and get some of their Cough medicine. 
Dad has a tarnal bad cold ; I want a bottle of their Globe 
Flower Syrup that cures Ephraharaenza." " I never heard 
of that disease before," said Gen. A. H. Colquitt. "Oh 
he means Influenza," said Gen. Brown. By this time they 
had reached the terminus of the road. Here they found 
Mr. Stanton's workmen hard at it, as clean as a pin and as 
happy as a " bug in a rug." Jonathan looked on in silence 
for some time. Then he addressed Mr, Stanton : "Look here, 
mister, whar did them fellers cum from ; they work like thun-

der, golly, can't they make the dirt fly ?" " I had them im- 
ported, to finish this Road, and they work well ; are sober, 
clean, and the most industrious men in the world." " What 
kind of lino;o is that tliey are spoutin ?" " Their native lan- 
guage." "How on arth dew you understand that gibberish ?" 
"Oh, we have two interpreters who do all the talking." " I'll 
be darned if thar throtcs musent get sore talkin' for all them 
black birds." " Yes, and we give them a few doses of Globe 
Flower Syrup which alleviates the throat, and they go on." 
" That must be a tarnal good thing." "It certainly is one 
of the best remedies set before the public. Pemberton, Tay- 
lor & Co. make 

A FAIR OFFER. 

" The Proprietors of the ' Globe Flower Cough Syrup' 
agree to repay the price to all who try the Remedy and re- 
ceive from it no benefit. Thus, if it does no good it costs 
nothing, and if it cures, of course one is satisfied.' " 

" Mister, aint them fellers heathen ?" "Yes, sir, I pre- 
sume they are, as they have their gods and worship them with 
great devotion." " Nom-, squire, I'll tell you what tew dew 
with them fellers as soon as yer Railroad is done." "Well, 
sir, I would like to hear your views of a favorable disposition 
of them." "Send half of 'em to Congress and a part of the 
others tew the legislater, and I'll take the rest tew work on 
my farm in Tennessee." This caused a laugh which Jona- 
than enjoyed very much. Mr. S. being very much amused 
with Jonathan determined to carry out the joke. " Why send 
them to Congress ; that certainly seems a singular idea?" 
" Why, you see squire, that everybody must go to Congress 
or the legislater tew larn devilment, and yoa say these fel- 
lers are free from that accomplishment, and that is the easiest 
way to larn. But, squire, don't send 'em until yer road is 
done, and be shure that you don't let these tarnal fellers 
pisen ther minds with the idea of it. If yer do, I'll be 
smashed if yer don't have tew import another batch of 'em 
tew finish off." " I thank you for your timely advice," said 
Mr. S. shaking with laughter, "but as they do not speak the 
language I have no fear that they will be corrupted." "Now, 
you look out for them fellers, or they will bo off sartin, and 
that will leave you flat smash dab, case you can't gobble like 
them." This remark caused a general lau(?h with the whole

party. They all went up to the new hotel and partook of a 
good dinner, such as is seldom found upon the Railroad. Af- 
ter looking around they returned to Chattanooga, well satis- 
fied with their trip, things being in the best order as every 
thing is that Mr. Stanton manages. 

On their arrival at Chattanooga they took a walk. Hear- 
ing a Circular Saw Jonathan was attracted by the sound, and 
they went in. Blessrs. Masters & Co. met them at the door. 




They are very polite gentlemen, formerly of Kentucky. 
"How are you gentlemen ? walk in ; anything I can show you 
in my line I will take great pleasure in doing so ; walk this 
way." "Yes, siree, we want to see what you have got and what 
you dew." "I will show you my shop and goods with pleas- 
ure. We are Carpenters and Builders, Sash, Door and 
Blind Factors." " What is your number? You see, I wan't 
tew larn all these places, case I shall want tew fix the things 
up myself arter awhile." " Our number is 50, West Chest- 
nut Street, Chattanooga, Tenn. ; and we fix up stores ; also, 
jobbing promptly attended to. Sash, doors, blinds and 
mouldings at all times." They looked through Mr. Masters 
large stock of goods and were satisfied that he ought to have, 
great sales in East Tennessee. As they bid Mr. Masters 
good-day and walked along the streets, Jonathan, who began 
to feel rather hungry, and being blessed with extreme good 
smellers he exclaims, "what is that which smells so tarnal 
good?" "Why," replied the General, "it is George Jack's 
fresh baked goodies." " Whar is George Jack's place?" 
" On Whitehall street, Atlanta, Ga.," said the General, with 
a laugh that caused Jonathan's mouth to water for some of 
the good things in Mr. Jack's establishment. "How far is it 
from here ?" " About 132 miles." " Wall, I gess that feller 
noes how tew cook." By this time they had arrived at Geo. 
Rubcl's Agricultural House,corner of Market and Eighth St., 
Chattanooga, Tenn.

GEORGE SHARP, Jr., Atlanta, Georgia, 



THE ADVENTURES OF JONATHAN BRADLY. 



" Hallo, mister, how are you old feller," said Jonathan, 
entering the large ware-house of the above gentleman, who 
politely received the strangers. Gen. Brown informed him 
that his friend wished to see his large assortment of agricul- 
tural implements. While the wily Jonathan informed Mr. 
Ruble that he intended to run the General for the next Gov- 
ernor of Tennessee, for said he, poking his fingers into Mr. 
Rubcl's side, " he is a bully-boy, and will dew the thing up 
in ' Shoo-fly' style." "I have no doubt of that, sir," said 
the surprised Ruble. Jonathan seeing him still look wan- 
deringly, contiued, " he's bin reconstructed and re-organized, 
he's bin tew Indianna and I'll be darned if the trip did'nt 
dew it." 

They now neared a large Threshing Machine, with 




Three-Hitch Gearing, showing tumbling-shaft connections at 
side and end. Separators-Three-Hitch Gearing-Double Fan, 
with tumbling-shafts attached. " Hallo, General, is this the 
house you told me of, when you was at dad's ?" " Yes, sir." 
"You sed it Avas a big one, and it is the bigest one that I 
ever seed. Why you can't hardly see tew the back of it, and 
what a lot of machinery you have got thar." " I have every- 
thing that a farmer can need. This is the Truck Wagon, 
handy on the farm. The Jack or Band Wheel is the Band 
Jack for Belt Machines, Straw Stacker. This Stacker will 
curry the straw and chaff 16 or 20 feet from the Machine." 
He saw another piece, Mr. Ruble tells him it is a Double 
Pinion Horse- Power. This one is four and six horse-power, 
with reversible spring coupling.

Bj a very simple but complete arrangement, the Reaper

They now hastened to the depot, and took their seats in 
the luxuriant car, upon the Western and Atlantic Railroad, 
and departed for Dalton. On arriving there, they found 
everything astir. Jonathan had a bad cold, and he sent to 
Pemberton, Taylor, & Co., for a box of remedies. 

The Fair was on hand. 

As Jonathan and Gen. Brown walked along the crowded 
walks of the Dalton Fair they heard that one was in prog- 
ress at Cartersville, Ga. "Now, that is a tarnal bad arainge- 
ment, General, tew have two of 'em at one time." "Yes, that is 
unfortunate," "but this is a new thing. Next year we will do 
better. Mr. Palmer is the accomplished Secretary of the 
North Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical Association at 
Dalton, Ga. We must go down." "Sartin as bees suck bunny

Here they "were perfectly surprised at tbe great amount of

brought out he r book "Keruwood," J. P. Morton & Co., of

a life insurance policy during life. Jonathan had insured 
when be met Mr. S. B. Robson, Georgia State Agent, but 
took another, and strongly advises "-JBill Arp" to do the 
the same. He says he keeps up his policies so as to be en- 
abled to pay his debts after death and provide his funeral

tions will be concluded with a Grand Tournament. Entrance 
fee $10. 1st prize, plate, $30. 2d prize, plate, $20. Five 
or more to ride. 

While Jonathan and Gen. Brown drove around to view 
this Fair and proceedings which were pointed out by "Bill 
Arp, so-called," they were astonished to see the magnificent 
display, and are highly delighted to think that old Georgia 
is such a live State, and that they can get up such fine Fairs 
as the approaching ones will be, and those of last year. 
George Sharp is the jeweler to this, as well as the State Fair,

After Jonathan had enjoyed the Fair to his heart's content, 
and as he had been cured of his cold, he sent the box of 
medicines to his friend in Indiana, who was to attend the 
Lectures at the Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. Jona- 
than's friend became very celebrated in curing consumption, 
colds, coughs, asthma, &c., by using the Globe Flower Cough 
Syrup made by Pemberton, Taylor & Co. He makes seve- 
ral wonderful cures of dyspepsia and liver complaint with Dr. 
Taylor's Anti-Dyspeptic Elixir.. His friend made two thou- 
sand dollars, and performed several miraculous cures of scrof- 
ula, white swelling, chronic rheumatism, gout, &c., with the 
great Blood Purifier and Health Restorer, and Compound 
Extract of Stillingia made in the Chemical Laboratory of 
of Pemberton, Taylor & Co. 

Seated again in the cars on the Western and Atlan- 
tic Railroad they sped on their way. Soon they arri- 
ved at Marietta, Ga., and here called upon Mr. Anderson, 
who keeps a Livery Stable, procured two fine horses and 
went to visit the grim old brow of Kennesaw, and also, the 
cemetery ; after which they returned their horses to the po- 
lite owner and left for Atlanta. As it was night, all, save 
Jonathan, were in the land of Nod, and indeed they did nod 
as they neared the city. A bright light and clouds of smoke 
rose in dense volumes, while the flames glared at a stupen- 
dous height. " Fire ! fire ! fire !" shouted Jonathan, at the 
pitch of his voice. At the alarm every one jumped out 
of his bed, for they were in the sleeping car, and enquired 



Jei»eler to State Agricultural Society, 



THE ADVENTUllES OF JONATHAN BRADLY. 



41 



"what is on fire, "who is on fire, and what is the matter?'' 
He continued to shout fire at the pitch of his voice until the 
la^t one was dressed. General Brown looked in the direction 
pointed by Jonathan and saw very much to his amusement 
that it was only the Scofield Rolling Mill, Atlanta, Ga., which 
manufactures all kinds of Railroad and Bar Iron, Spikes, 
Plow Steel, Castings, Grates, &c., of which Messrs. L. Sco- 
field, is President, W. D. Cook, Secretary and Treasurer, 
and J. D. Gray, General Agent. Ascertaining the cause of 
the alarm the passengers felt in no good mood with the hor- 
rid greenhorn who had broken their morning nap. But he 
cousoled them by telling them "he gessed it was time they 
were up any how, it want helthy tew sleep catchin flies ; he 
gessed they would have a better stomach for breakfast." On 
arriving they went to the National Hotel, which Jonathan

mistook for the State House and Mr. L. Pond for the Gov- 
ernor, and Mr. Beach for a Presbyterian minister, and Mr. 
E. Pond for Clerk of the Senate. He pulled off his old hat 
with great respect to them much to the amusement of the 
crowd around him. After breakfast they sallied out to see 
the sights and get a new hat. They went straight to 

40 WHITEHALL STREET, 

where they found all kinds of hats. Jonathan seeing some 
strange looking cross boxes mistook them for the pattern of 
a new hat to ride the velocipede with and having an ambi- 
tion to ride the wooden horse,thrust his head into one, great- 
ly to the amusement of the crowd. He tried on a good many 
harts. At last one suited him. He turned to Mr. Holbrook 
and the General, and vrith a sly twinkle of his eye said, ''I 
gess if Peggy Dayton was to see me now she'd think I looked 
as well as Jim Lethers who wore a slick hat that he bought 
with the life Insurance his dad's death give to the old 'oman, 
I need something was rong and it has been this durned old 
hat,'' and gave it a kick and took a lively step around,look- 
ing in the glass. He; bid Mr. Holbrook good day and went 
to see Gen. J. B. Gonion to get his life insured. Every man 
walks up to him and sivs, "excuse me, where did you get 
that hat?" "At 40 Whitehall street, sir; you will find a 
plenty just like it th;ir." He goes on and enters the Atlan- 
ta Department of the

Jonathan gets his life insured and then comes out. Meets

McBride's. 

As Jonathan and the General, in company with Dr. Stout, 
were -winding their -way along the corner of Broad and jMari- 
etta streets, Jonathan saw a sign that struck his vision. 
"Thusly:" McBride & Co. "Look here, Mister, I want 
tew know who that fellow McBride k Co. is. I see his 
name everywhere, and any fellow what has got such a name 
must he some i?umpJcins." " Certainly, we will go in, said 
Dr. Stout, who, at this moment, met Dr. Pemborton ; afer a

shake of the hand, Gen. BroTvn told him that ^Yas the gentle- 
man spoken of by Generals Smith and Johnson, at Nash- 
ville." " Oh, I remember." " How are you, old fellow," said 
he, grasping his hand, "I here say, that you are the great- 
est man of the day ; that you cure more people with your 
G-lohe Flower Cough* ^y'^'^Py than all the doctors in the 
country." By this time they had entered the store of Mc- 
Bride & Co. Here he read : Patent Improved Eureka Con- 
densing Coffee Pot. Jonathan now became comfused, he 
had never seen such a great display of Crockery Glass, CJiind 
and Plated- Ware, with all the cutlery necessary to fix out 
housekeeping. Oh, how he did wish Peggy was with him, to 
see all these pretty things. "But", said he, " I'll buy some 
and send my sister and mother." As he was about to do 
so, Mr. McBride invited him to walk with him around to his 
other store. " Got another as big as this, je-whil-i-ky, 
what a fellow you are, and whar is the tother store?" "On 
the corner of Whitehall and Hunter Sts." "Look here, 
I\Iister, what kind of a thing is that Eureka, concarned, Cof- 
fee Pot?" "Why, sir, the "Eureka" needs no commenda- 
tion. It is simple, cheap and complete. It will save fully 
thirty per cent, of coffee. Buy one, try it, if you are not 
pleased, return it to the agent and get your money." "I'll 
dew it.'" " We want agents in every county in Georgia, Al- 
abama and Mississippi," continued Mr. McBride. Jonathan 
purchased liberally of everything, and had them packed and 
sent to his home, in the far West, where few such comforts 
are known. 

After Jonathan had insured his life, he felt that he'd live 
twent}^ years longer than he other ff-ise would have done. But 
feeling in need of cooling off, somewhat, he concluded to hunt 
up Mr. G. W. Jack, whose viands had not ceased to blow 
upon his nostrils since he left Chattanooga. " I say, Gene- 
ral, let us go to see that feller that has them goodies what I 
smelt, up in Chattanoogy." "Very well." At Mr. Jacks, 
they found the most delicous Ice Cream, in a handsome, cool 
room : after they had eaten their fill, they started out to 
hunt furniture, as Jonathan was desirous of sending home a 
handsome set. Gen. Brown told him that he could take him 
to a friend of his, who would do the right thing by him. So 
they wend their way to Rondeau & Co., opposite the H. I. 
Kimball House, on Decatur St. Entering, Jonathan was 



Jeweler to Slafc Ag-ricBaEfiaBi'al Society. 

THE ADVENTURES OP JONATHAN BRADLT. 45 

Struck with the great disphiy of handsome furniture, and at 
once excdaims : "jNIistcr, I guess you are goia' tew fix up the 
Lookout tavern, at Chattanoogy, haint you ? I never seed 
such a big lot of fine stuff in all my life." Dr. Sells smiled 
and said, "we should be most happy to furnish his liotel, we 
can do it as cheap as he can get it in any Northern city, and 
as well, we have a Steam manufactory on the corner of But- 
ler and Harris Sts. Mr. Stanton is the enterprising gentle- 
man, I believe, that is buikling that fine hou^e, which is so 
much needed," "Yes, sir-e-e, he's the bully feller that 
knows how tew make a pavement tew keep a feller's butes 
from gitting all the blackin' off in that tarnal mud, and how 
tew dew tilings, generally, but tew make taverns and raih'oads, 
in particlar." Jonathan selected some fine furniture, and 
after he had bought it, he said: "Look here. Mister, now, I 
have got the pesky stuff, I don't know what tew dew with it," 
" Why, send it home." " I guess if you'd see our house 
you'd think it would look like a saddle on our old Birkshire 
sow, Mol, that I's goin' tew show at the far." "I 'spose you 





show lots of stuff on the Far-ground." "Yes, we shall do 
something in that way." 

"Say, mister, who's IL I Kimball ?" "I'll take pleasure 
in informing you : Mr. Kimball is a native of Oxford county, 
Maine, of highly respectable and influential family, and is 
now about 38 years of age. His brother, C. P. Kimball, was 
the nominee of the Democratic party last year for Governor 
of his native State, but declined to run, in consequence of 
business enn;arrements. 

H. I. Kimball is noted for his enterprise and success. At 



46 THE ADVENTURE^ OF JONATHAN BRADLY. 

on early age he exhibited signal capacity for managing bu- 
siness and men. As early as his 17th year he was master of 
his trade — carriage-maker — and assumed the management of 
a manufactory of very considerable magnitude. At nineteen 
he established a large business in New Haven, Connecticut, 
where he was immediately followed by th);eebrotliers, E. F., 
H. and E. N. Kimball. Tlie immonse establishment of G. & 
D. Cjok & Co. was controlled and directed by the mind of 
Mr. H. I. Kimball. He was induced by capitalists of New 
York to leave New Haven and tnke charge of extensive mi- 
ning operations in Colorado, which position he resigned in 
1866, in consequence of failing iiealth. Soon after, connec- 
ting himself with George M. Pullman, in his Sleeping Car 
enterprise, he came South in 1866 and organized the Pull- 
man & Ramsey Sleeping Car Company. Finding his health 
much improved by the salubrity of our climate he determined 
to make Atlanta his home. And, to-day, he is one of our 
most highly esteemed citizens. Of pleasing address, though 
apparently thoroughly absorbed in business, he favorably im- 
presses all who meet him. He combines the highest busi- 
ness qualifications with the most desirable social traits. Pos- 
sessing the happy fiiculty of keeping his business to himself, 
no one knows of his contemplated enterprises until his plans 
are carefully matured. To-day his whole interests are iden- 
tified with Georgia, and he is doing more to build up her 
waste places than any of her enterprising citizens. A lead- 
ing Conservative Journalist, of Georgia, thus truthfully re- 
flects the feelings of the people respecting this gentleman: 
"shunning politics as a pestilence, and plundering intrigues 
as a upas of death, he operates upon the hypothesis that 
Georgia is the most inviting field for legitimate enterprise on 
the Continent, and with a boldness of conception, and bril- 
liancy of execution that can be inspired only by the hope of 
monumental glory, and the transmission of a heritage in en- 
during works for the good of mankind. It matters little where 
men are born, for great deeds and noble ends, belong 
to civilization. Such men, Georgia invites to her bor- 
ders, v.-elcomcs to her hospitality and receives as partners in 
the glorious work of developing her resources. He built and

most beautiful Hotels,to be found on the Continent,in Atlan- 
ta. Besides, he is the leading spirit in one or more of our im- 
portant Railroad lines. His liberality is as great as his en- 
terprise. He is the hirgest contributor to the cash prize list 
of our State Agriculturiil Fair. Such i^s, in brief, tbe char- 
acter of our esteemed fcllow-cirizon, H. I Kimball !" 

Jonathan nexu goes to see that enterprising gentleman, Mr. 
H. I. Kimball. He takes a gnuid view of the Opera House, 
and says, " this is the thun^lerinest bigest house I ever did 
here tell on." His wondci-ment did not cease, ns he went 
up the grand staircase to the office of Mr. Kimball, who met 
hiin Avith his usual courtesy, and politely offered him a 
seat. Here stood Jonathan, with bis hands on his knees, 
half bent, mouth wide open, with his new hat, from No. 40, 
Whitehall St., on the back of his head, staring at Mr. K., who 
could scarcely restrain his mirth, of which he has a good 
share. At last, Jonathan exclaimed: "I'll be consarned if 
you haint a tarnal good lookin' feller, tew be so thunderin' 
smart. So you aro H. I. Kimball — big Ike, by jing — own this 
uproar house and that big tavern." This was more than Mr. 
K. could endure, and he broke into an immoderate laugh, 
and extended hi^ hand to Jonathan with a friendly grasp of 
welcome, and bid him sit down, and relnte some of his adven- 
tures. "I seed Stanton, he's a great feller; you jist ought tew 
see him steppin' round them fellers thar, he's buildin' a tarnal 
big tavern up in Chattanoogy, but not as big as yourn ; I 
did'nt like up thar ; came tew Dalton, Cartersville and Rome, 
and seed Bill Arp up thar, and had a jolly time, then we 
next cum to Marietty. This town has many rellicks ov 
the late war grinnin' you in the face ; it was thar that 
•we met the smilin' face ov the agent, Judge Greseham. 
He is fat and well provided for. A cullered citizen cum 
in tew the car with eggs, briled beef, biskit and koffy. 
Each biskit had a revnue stamp on it, and the koffy had two 
to sweeten it with. AVe like Marietty ; its a nice place. We 
next got tew Kinnysaw. Its histi«rick memories, big rocks 
and prickly-pares, that stick my fingers now. You arc 
goin' to have a far, haint you?" "Yes sir, I think we will 
have a fine one." " I guess you will." " Good-day, I'll 
come some other time." Taking a good look at Mr. K., he 
went out, saying, "big Ike, sartin as thunder." He 'next 
called on Pemberton, Taylor & Co., who were grately pleased

to see him. They conducted him all through their fine es- 
tablishment, presented him with a bottle of perfumery, 
"Cherokee Rose," all that is pure and sweet, and is the 
most fragrant and delicate of all perfumes. The " Bridal 
Boquet," is a rich perfume, highly prized for its great deli- 
cacy and excellence. Its pure and refreshing sweetness is a 
subject of remark by all who have used it, " Boquet of 
Florida," which Jonathan had scented himself with. 

Here we see Gen. Brown and Jonathan on their way to 
the Fair, going at 2:40 speed.

Nashville, Tcnn., April 9, 1866. 
Mrs. A. M. Meeker is by us cheerfully recommended for 
the patronage of our people in her present enterprise. The 
conduct and character of Mrs. Meeker as an "Angel of Mer- 
cy" to our sick soldiers during their struggle for indepen- 
dence, as shown by the testimonials of Gens. Hood, Baker, 
Duke, and others, make it a duty of plea, ure to us to intro- 
Mrs. Meeker to our friends. Yours,

I know nothing of Mrs. Meeker personally, but from her 
reputation, and from the names of the well-known gentlemen 
to the foregoing certificate, I take pleasure in recommending 
her to the kind consideration of our people. 

J B Palmer.

I most cordially endorse the foregoing statement of Gen- 
eral Palmer, and recommend her to the kind consideration of 
all of our friends.

n^OTIOES OIF- TSIEl IPi^^ISSS. 

The Atlanta Constitution, June 3, 1870, says : "Kern- 
wood ; or, After Many Days," is a late publication by Mrs. 
A. M. Meeker, formerly of Atlanta. It is a tale of the late 
war, written with ability and life, and is very interesting. 
Its style is excellent and displays very considerable knowl- 
edge of nature. We take pleasure m recommending it to our 
readers. Mrs. M. has another work ready for publication 
called Castle Malone which Bonner would do well to pur- 
chase for his Ledger. She returns to Atlanta to find her 
lot houseless through the favor of Sherman." 

From the Louisville Journal, Januarij 23, 18G8. 

"We have had time only for a casual glance at "Kernwood ;" 
but that has assured us that the author possesses a deep in- 
sight into human character, and a pen fitted for the portr,Ay- 
al of thrilling and graphic pictures drawn from nature and 
from the events of human life. It evinces intellect and taste 
and rare command of language, and he wdio peruses it will 
be handsomely rewarded for his trouble. We bespeak for 
the work a liberal patronage from the enlightened and gen- 
erous people of our native State, who are never wanting, we 
know, in a readiness to encourage genius, and help forward 
those who are contending against fate and for honorable dis- 
tinction in the walks of literature and science. 

From the Louisville Courier, January 23, 1868. 

Mrs A Meeker's historical romance, "Kernwood; or. After 
Many Days," has just been issued from the press of John P. 
Morton & Co., and is, we understand, meeting with rapid 
sale. The character of the book our readers are familiar 
with from the liberal extracts from it which we have already 
pubiished. It is a volume of 390 pages, and is got up in el- 
egant style and printed on the best and whitest paper. As a 
specimen of typography it does credit to the publisher and 
could not be excelled by any publishing house in New York. 

From the Frankfort [Ky.) Yeoman, January 25, 1868. 

Mrs. A M Meeker, whose name is so well known from her 
connection with the late war, completed the publication of 
her book entitled "Kernwood; or, After Many Days : a his- 
torical romance founded on the Events of the late War, from 
the manuscript of a Confederate Spy." It is from the press 
of J P Morton & Co., and is a most creditable specimen of 
both printing and binding. We have not read it yet, but the 
Louisville Journal speaks favorably of it.
